Indexed Risk Control™:
Bond Innovation & Risk Mitigation For The Modern Era
Fixed Income Core + Options Overlay
Indexed Risk Control™ is a new asset class combining the downside risk mitigation of fixed income with the upside potential of long-only call options linked to large cap US equities. The methodology is designed to protect portfolios from sharp downturns with benefits as the market recovers. Addressing the consequences of today’s bond market conditions, our risk management framework is intended to be used as an alternative to traditional fixed income or an overall risk mitigation solution.
