Risk Management
Risk management is integrated into the Firm’s investment process, resulting in variable frameworks to manage the portfolio across various environments. The Firm believes risk management is a skill and can be observed by a fund’s ability to consistently generate excess returns (alpha) during normal environments and protect capital during periods of higher volatility.
Before capital deployment, the Firm analyzes quantitative and qualitative risks associated with a position and seeks to eliminate confirmation bias. Throughout the investment horizon, the Firm leverages its risk frameworks to manage portfolio and position-level risks.
Hedging is executed at two levels for the Opportunity strategy:
Portfolio-Level The Firm constantly assesses risks that the portfolio is exposed to, including industry specific risks, factors and events. The Firm seeks to construct efficient, portfolio-level hedges to provide protection during periods when such risks may be elevated.
Position-Level The Firm evaluates the potential for short duration events to create volatility in existing positions, such as earnings and analyst days. It seeks to establish short-term, position-specific hedges to protect the position from volatility while the long-term thesis remains intact.
Note: The High Conviction Long Only strategy does not utilize hedges; it may use a limited amount of cash as a risk management tool as it deems appropriate.
