Episode notes

i don't think they've been able to implement it in any reasonable way, because it's difficult to be using futures and options contracts to manage risk. Ape: What we're talking about here is quite legit, at least from a theoretical perspective. You are talking about the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind.

In this episode we answer questions from Alexi, Vaughn, Yamini, Jamie (x2) and Adam. We discuss merger arbitrage as an asset class, the Macro-Allocation Principle applied to an accumulation portfolio, the benefits of investing in insurance companies, tail risk parity and the my favorite science paper and considerations about the lack of really old data.

And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
