- Investing
Joining the show today are Olympus team members, Ernie Chan and Nahid Jetha to talk about their award-winning tail-hedging investment strategy in the context of 2021’s market. Also discussed is the current investment landscape and what 2022 might look like.
Available on the CARL app, the Olympus strategy employs three fully automated and complementary systems. One profits from extreme (tail) movements in the US equity index, another uses predicted changes in implied volatility of the market to trade the VIX futures algorithmically, and also a hybrid that aims to be volatility-neutral.
Episode Highlights:
2:11 - How Olypus did in 2021
6:45 - What was unusual about the market overall in 2021
12:07 - The new landscape that includes retail investors in the market now
15:59 - Looking ahead to 2022
22:29 - Why you would want a tail hedging strategy like Olympus in your portfolio
23:44 - Closing thoughts and what’s new at CARL
