Loss Protection: Reducing Key Risks

Unintended Exposure Risk

Unintended exposures bleed alpha. Quietly. Persistently. Macro crowding makes it worse—one regime shift triggers mass de-risking.

MFERM shows you both risks inreal-time. Measure, monitor, and manage exposures without changing a single name. Run macro stress tests. Quantify tail risk. Reduce net portfolio exposure with precision.

Add Alpha With a Repeatable Macro Edge

• Harvest the Dual Risk Premia - Tilt toward whichever engine is paying: Macro or Idio. Proven to add +2.5% annual alpha.*

• Sharpen Stock Conviction - Use macro regime data to size positions with confidence and reduce alpha slippage.

• Transform Risk Management into Alpha - Use forward-looking Macro Share of Risk (MSR) as a signal to play defense or offense.

• Validate Strategy Integrity - Prove your fund's returns are generated by its stated process. Secure allocations.
