Carry-Neutral Tail Risk Hedging
Protection Against Market Crashes
Why This Strategy?
Unlike many other tail risk products that consistently bleed capital, Ambrus has developed proprietary strategies that aim to offset such losses. We believe this unique approach provides the ideal combination: protection against market crashes when they occur, without losing capital in the interim.
Why Now?
Market crashes can devastate portfolios and institutional reputations. In addition, they are much more frequent than investors realize. The S&P 500 has dropped 20%+ in a 30 day period five times since 2000, i.e. an average of once every 4-5 years. Rapid market declines lead to bursts of volatility, which in turn generate convex returns for tail strategies. In addition, we believe recent growth in the derivatives markets has also increased the probability of cascading market crashes.
Why Us?
The Ambrus team has decades of institutional experience on the buy side and sell side building and trading quantitative derivative strategies. Our roots as proprietary traders allows us to implement sophisticated trade execution and to utilize broker relationships to trade on favorable terms. Our trading style is designed to exploit capacity constrained market edges.
“The tour we’ve taken through the last century proves that market irrationality of an extreme kind periodically erupts – and compellingly suggests that investors wanting to do well had better learn how to deal with the next outbreak.”
