Cat of Nine Tails: How Mutiny Fund Harnesses Ensembles to Hedge Many Tails at Once (EP.19)

Jason Buck is a founding partner of Mutiny Fund, an asset management firm with a vision to make high-quality tail hedging solutions available to a wider community of investors. Their fund aggregates managers with different tail-hedge styles, including options strategies, VIX relative value, and short-term trend traders to manage tails of all shapes and sizes.

We cover:

• Why tail risk is best managed through the use of ensembles
• The so-called "Dragon Portfolio" as a risk-parity solution that adds an extra dimension of risk
• How to think about sizing tail-hedge strategies in portfolios
• How to make hay while the sun is shining while remaining positioned for a storm
• How to manage the behavioral challenges of strategic allocations to tail-risk strategies

Jason brought a lot more to this discussion than just a pitch for tail hedges. It's clear he's thought deeply about the investment problem in general and has a clear vision about how tail hedge strategies can fit into a broader portfolio structure.
