Los Angeles · Established 2014
A private investment firm deploying capital across derivatives, equities, futures and macro strategies — with a defined risk framework applied to every position.
Who we are
Persevere Asset Management is a private investment firm based in Los Angeles, founded in 2014 by Neema Omid. The firm takes its name from the rover that landed on Mars and kept moving — a reference to the only quality that compounds reliably in this business.
We do not hold passive exposure and we do not concentrate in a single strategy. Capital is deployed actively across six mandates, each with its own defined risk parameters, and rotated according to where the risk-adjusted opportunity is strongest. When one environment offers nothing, another usually does.
Every position is sized, timed and bounded before entry. That constraint is the firm — the strategies are simply how it gets expressed.
Leadership
Neema Omid
Founder & Portfolio Manager
The trade comes to us. We do not chase it.
Neema Omid founded Persevere Asset Management in 2014 and has served as its Portfolio Manager since inception. Over more than a decade of continuous market participation, he has built the firm’s multi-strategy framework and its risk discipline from the ground up.
His approach centres on active capital deployment rather than static allocation — combining precision options engineering with equity analysis, macro futures positioning and commodity exposure. The framework is designed to identify the highest-conviction opportunity available in a given regime and express it with defined risk, rather than to hold a fixed set of positions through every environment.
Prior to founding the firm, he built experience across financial services, mortgage brokerage and marketing — a background that informs the firm’s approach to capital structure, deal flow and operational risk.
What we do
Capital moves between mandates according to where the risk-adjusted opportunity sits. No mandate is permanent, and none is allowed to dominate the book. The framework is what persists.
A systematic macro framework identifying directional opportunity across interest rates, currencies, credit and the broader economic cycle. Positioning is established ahead of consensus rather than in response to it, with exposure sized to the confidence in the underlying read.
The firm’s primary income mandate. Defined-risk put and call credit spreads on index options, sized to a fixed percentage of capital and managed to predetermined profit and stop levels. Strike selection is governed by the prevailing volatility environment rather than directional conviction.
Calendar spreads, diagonals, ratio structures and multi-leg positions used to express views that directional exposure cannot capture — volatility mispricing, term structure dislocation and event-driven asymmetry. Every structure carries a defined maximum loss.
Active positioning in precious metals and the energy complex through futures, options and exchange-traded instruments. Commodity exposure provides diversification against equity beta and a hedge against inflation regimes that erode fixed income and growth equity simultaneously.
Intraday and swing positioning in equity index futures, executed against a defined set of setups — opening range structure, volume-weighted price reclaims and liquidity events at institutional levels. Position size is derived from stop distance, never from conviction.
Top-down sector rotation combined with bottom-up selection, focused on structural breakout candidates and catalyst-driven situations. Screening combines relative strength, volume confirmation and implied volatility rank to identify positions before the move rather than during it.
