Reduce tail risks – not your performance potential

About this event

Can you mitigate extreme losses and fully consume your portfolio’s active risk budget to support performance?

Our latest Scientific Climate Indices study examines 476 active U.S. equity funds and reveals how risk-based diversification—beyond traditional stock or sector-based approaches offers robust protection against tail risk, while preserving return potential and tracking error targets.

Explore findings from our research paper “Mitigating Tail Risks without Sacrifice: Empirical Evidence of Risk-Based Diversification’s Benefits for Equity Investors”.
