The Second Leg Down: Strategies for Profiting After a Market Sell-Off | Hari Krishnan

In Episode 131 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Hari Krishnan, a portfolio manager at Doherty Advisors responsible for the VXR (VIX replication strategy) and hedging solutions business. The two discuss Hari's thesis around risk management, portfolio construction and positioning once a market downturn is already underway. Although the content discussed in this episode is considered "sophisticated," we try and make it accessible to the average listener. Topics include the investor mindset, protecting against systemic risk, options pricing, the role of credit in the market cycle, endogenous vs. exogenous risk, agent-based modeling, exchange traded products, volatility, and trend following strategies.  The overtime includes more detailed examples of tactics and strategies that can be deployed in service of risk mitigation and profit making during the type of market-downturn that we are  now experiencing. You can access that overtime, along with the rundown and transcript to this week's episode through the Hidden Forces Patreon Page.
