Longtail Alpha, LLC
SEC RegisteredExpect The Unexpected For Sustained Portfolio Performance
About the firm
LongTail Alpha believes that sustained portfolio performance comes from expecting the unexpected, and from positioning portfolios to earn yield while maintaining convexity. The firm blends a solutions approach with value added from expertise in implementation of these solutions in a portfolio form. The firm has developed a proprietary framework based on academically rigorous research, and tested over two decades of implementation, which assists in analyzing the portfolio risks, hedging both "left-side" or negative tail risks and "right-side" or positive tail risks, and by optimizing performance by combining market positions and risk allocation across asset classes.
