Crash Risk: Hedgers vs. Harvesters
Crashes are regular features of markets, and they can have a dramatic impact on long-term total returns. Even so, surprisingly few investors explicitly factor crash risk into the design of their portfolios. In this presentation, we compare prevalent approaches to reducing crash exposure, contrasting their unique benefits, hidden risks, and relative efficiency. We show how crash risk may be concealed in alternatives and private market strategies, and we consider how premium harvesters may underwrite such risk more efficiently and transparently.
