Embedded positive convexity at the core of emerging market trading to better ride through market dislocations. Why historical volatility and correlation can be very poor measur

How to create convexity in portfolios. Supply-demand dynamic is the driver of volatility and massively influenced by structured product creation. Why taking “good risk” allows you to take more risk. Current strategy launched in 2012.

How does Convex Strategies fit into a balanced 60/40 portfolio?. “If you are not bearish, how come you have 40% of your capital in low yielding, non risk mitigating fixed income?”.

What causes this negative convexity? Which behaviour is responsible for it?. How to correct it?. The problems of short term return chasing. Replacing ineffective defensive allocations. Conflict of interest: Fiduciaries vs asset owners or goals-scored-per-game incentive structure vs standing at the end of the season.

A Value Investor in Volatility: How to achieve efficiency (cost to pay out) in long volatility strategies. Have the cheapest possible insurance when you don’t need it while getting the biggest payout when you do need it.

Team. Being a price maker not a price taker.

Timing: The best time to correct convexity in your portfolio was yesterday. - Not only because of insurance, but to achieve better compounding on the return side. Greenspan established the new normal in financial markets - but investors still haven’t fully adapted.
