1180 Partners is an investment management firm delivering alternative solutions that enhance portfolios.

1180 Partners is an independent alternative investment firm based in Atlanta, GA. The firm was established in 2022 on the notion that non-traditional solutions will demand a larger share of modern portfolios.


Our investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that market inefficiencies persist because investors routinely misjudge the timing and magnitude of volatility. We seek to exploit these moments through a disciplined, data-driven, and repeatable process that uses machine learning and game theory frameworks.


The firm seeks to produce results that are economically indifferent to whether the market trends up or down. Our approach is designed to offer a low correlation complement to traditional investments, enhancing overall portfolio resilience and stability over the long run.

Algorithmic Advantage

Algorithmic Advantage

Powered by machine learning, our proprietary model identifies entry points that precede periods of outsized moves in stocks. By systematically identifying these inefficiencies, we start from a position of statistical advantage.

Unique Structure

Unique Structure

We construct a directional-agnostic position using options contracts. The structure is engineered to be market neutral and profit from volatility in the underlying security.

Optimal Sizing

Optimal Sizing

Using a game theory framework—anchored in Kelly Criterion—we seek to establish optimal position sizing. This discipline allows us to capitalize on high-conviction ideas while limiting capital exposure when confidence wanes.
