Resolve Riffs on the Great Tail Protection Debate

Join us for our inaugural episode of the “ReSolve’s Riffs” series where the team will go live on Youtube every Friday at 3pm over cocktails to discuss topics that are in the immediate zeitgeist of the investment world.

In this episode we cover the very heated tail protection debate. The team discusses the challenges with different types of tail protection implementations including:

  • The difficulty in sourcing the right strategy
  • The challenges of different fund structures,
  • Whether diversification alone is enough to manage tail risk and,
  • The benefits of tail ensembles.

We also cover the behavioural challenges at all levels of investor sophistication that make it so difficult to stick with tail protection as a strategic long-term allocation, and make a case for the type of investor that might benefit from these approaches.

We hope you enjoy the episode and that you’ll join us to riff live with the team!
