Description

The Diversified Risk-Off Portfolio is intended as a risk mitigating sleeve in a broader portfolio. The goal of the portfolio is to outperform a long-volatility benchmark over a full market cycle while still delivering similar protection in times of crisis. This portfolio is long mid-term Vix futures while also being short the front-month Vix futures to reduce carry costs. Additionally, a long low beta/short high beta fund adds short delta exposure to protect over longer drawdowns.
