Black Swan
Overview
What is a Black Swan event? It’s an event that is rare, unpredictable and impactful—and it can be very difficult to attribute to reason.
We offer three different indexes designed to protect against these events by allocating the majority of assets to historically low-volatility Treasuries. Remaining assets are used to purchase “in-the-money” calls. The goal is to achieve capital appreciation while minimizing volatility as compared to standard asset-allocated investments.
