Finreon Tail Risk Control®Reduce large drawdowns in a crash through risk-controlled investments

The Finreon Tail Risk Indicator measures the probability of large tail events (crashes) on equity markets systematically and on a daily basis by means of various market factors. Accordingly, the fund's equity quota is set between 0% (high measured risks) and 100% (low measured risks), depending on the prevailing market regime as indicated by the TRI.

Finreon Impuls - 12. Edition

Risk-Controlled Investing: New Normal or Return to Normal? The coronavirus crisis impacted the market more abruptly than any previous crisis. Due to the enormous support measures however, the recovery was also rapid. Although the crisis cannot serve as a blueprint for all future upheavals, it can be construed as an expression of increasingly rapid market movements. For investors, the challenge lies in managing risks effectively in this volatile environment without foregoing the equity risk premium.

Academic research constantly delivers new findings. The large number of studies makes it difficult to keep track of them all. Finreon highlights new research papers that we consider to be particularly relevant to understanding financial markets and Finreon's solutions.
