Volatility Risk Premia
Harvesting the structural premium embedded in options and volatility markets as a differentiated return stream.
Our flagship strategy takes an endowment-style approach to portfolio construction, combining a curated set of differentiated strategies with independent sources of return. The objective is to generate meaningful long-term returns with lower volatility and shallower drawdowns than equity markets.
By combining strategies with distinct return drivers — and actively managing their exposures, correlations, and risks — we seek to build a more resilient portfolio capable of delivering attractive risk-adjusted outcomes across a range of market environments.
Liquid alternatives are investment strategies that seek returns from sources beyond traditional long-only stocks and bonds while maintaining relatively high levels of liquidity. Many are designed to capture persistent market behaviors, structural inefficiencies, or risk premia that sophisticated institutional investors have utilized for decades — including systematic sources of return such as:
Harvesting the structural premium embedded in options and volatility markets as a differentiated return stream.
Systematic positioning that follows persistent directional moves across global asset classes.
Rules-based exposure to enduring equity factors, independent of manager selection or market timing.
Capturing pricing dislocations between related securities to generate returns with limited market direction.
We provide the infrastructure and expertise to source, evaluate, access, and combine these strategies within a single commingled fund. Where we have a differentiated capability, we may implement strategies directly. Where specialized expertise is required, we identify and conduct due diligence on external managers with demonstrated capabilities in those areas.
We then actively allocate across these return streams and manage the portfolio over time — seeking to ensure that each strategy continues to earn its place and that the overall portfolio remains aligned with our objectives for return, diversification, liquidity, and risk.
