​Hoplon Capital Management​

Active Structured Note Management

​

Hoplon was the shield of the Greek heavy Infantry, the Hoplites, of the Bronze & Iron Age. The Hoplites used the Hoplon as their primary means of protection in their Infantry formation, the Phalanx.  In Ancient Greek democracies, the Infantry was made up of citizen soldiers, regardless of social class or wealth.  Often times, the wealthy served in the front rank of the Phalanx or elite Infantry units, as they could afford the best/heaviest armor.

​

In true democratic fashion, the Hoplites fought in tightly packed formations called the Phalanx that required every man to act in unison to be successful.  Even more democratic symbolism is found in the fact that the Hoplon (shield) was primarily used to cover the man next to you, each man in the phalanx overlapping their shields to cover-one another. 

 

And much like the Hoplon, we believe our Structured Note Strategy provides superior results with a level of protection!
