Equity Strategy Generation
Overview:
New or offsetting trades are generated that suit the managers risk criteria. The utilization of Concurrent Strategies provides constant feedback to the Market risks, liquidity concerns and other key issues affecting portfolio managers, traders, and risk managers.
Strategies in development include portfolio overlay strategies, basis trading and volatility trading.
Our study - "Generating Profitable Equity Trading Signals – From Risk Management to Risk Control" is forthcoming.
Risk Landscape:
The Risk Landscape is created from a set of risk scenarios that identify the current state of the Market. Each risk scenario shares a relationship with other scenarios, which are expressed in the risk landscape. Each Scenario can alter the risk landscape in specific ways. Utilizing such a strategy enables both a top-down and bottom-up risk management approach which we feel is lacking in most equity strategies today.
- Strategies are capable of offsetting each other to limit Trade and / or Portfolio risk. The resulting strategies are applicable to equity long/short, pairs, basis trading, volatility trading and information arbitrage in the Equity Markets.
- Optimal directional positioning and asset allocation are determined by a Quorum between the risk scenarios. Identifying these optimal paths through the Risk Landscape ensures that Market Risk is managed.
- To generate the initial Strategy / Risk Landscape from scratch, dynamic lookback of the trade data and Market data generates the risk parameters for multiple risk scenarios, as opposed to values optimized for a specific query.
