Rise of Crisis Risk Offset Portfolios

There’s a slew of new terminology popping up in papers and on the alternative investment conference circuit of late around portfolios which engage strategy types designed to perform well in a crisis. Of course, this has been the main selling point of managed futures (we cover that in depth on our new website here). But investments are sold, not bought and shoehorning managed futures into the ‘crisis performer’ box hasn’t been selling so well of late. For one, there haven’t been any crisis periods, much less normal volatility levels. And two, many in the managed futures space don’t like to be called crisis performers, feeling that sort of simplifies and belittles the diversified approaches they take.
