AIMA Australia Seminar: Volatility, the forgotten strategy?

Australia

AIMA is pleased to invite you to our upcoming members' education forum to be held from 12.00pm on Wednesday, February 12th at K&L Gates, Sydney.
 
With continued central bank intervention, continually rising equity markets and a flight to passive investments, most have put “Vol” in the too hard basket or the expensive “tail hedging” not needed basket…but why so?  This session will re-examine Volatility and its use in a funds management strategy for risk enhancement and risk mitigation.    
 
Agenda will also include:
  • Whats the outlook for Vol in 2020?
  • Characteristics of long and short vol strategies
  • Is the VIX an over rated as a vol measure and tool?
  • Vol performance characteristics relative to general equities
  • Strategies for risk enhancement, mitigation and tail risk;
  • Strategies for a downturn.
 
Speakers:
Michael Fagan, CIO, Levitas Capital
