Swan Defined Risk Solutions

Outsourcing Redefined
Innovative. Client-centered. Outcome-oriented.

Stand out in a “Sea of Sameness”.  We have surveyed the outsourcing landscape and find almost universal reliance on the same investment methodology (MPT) and long-only or tactical managers, while offering similar technologies.

 

Differentiate yourself as an advisor, deliver distinct and innovative investment options, and save time to focus on what you love—helping investors and building your practice.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Differentiated Solutions for the Challenges Ahead

With yields near all-time lows and U.S. equities near all-time highs, the investing landscape presents significant challenges for investors to reach long-term objectives.

 

Meanwhile, advisors are being increasingly disintermediated and their value commoditized in the minds of many investors.

 

The Defined Risk Solutions platform combines our distinct, time-tested investment approach with proven marketing solutions and time-saving technology- all in one platform.

 

Investment Management Solutions

Outcome-Oriented — A multi-asset, multi-manager suite of portfolio models for the full range of investment objectives and investor risk tolerances.

 

Client-Centered — Investment models built around the primary needs of investors, with a distinct, time-tested approach to risk management at the core.

 

Innovative & Unique — A time-tested and rules-based investment approach that seeks to:

  • Avoid large losses
  • Diversify across assets, strategies, and styles
  • Minimize volatility/behavioral biases
  • Minimize taxes and cost
  • Protect against inflation or deflation
  • Blend active and passive management for true diversification

 

Low-Cost, Risk-Managed Approach — Focused on defining portfolio risk, hedging both “left-side” or negative tail risks and “right-side” or positive tail risks with core positioning, and optimizing performance through diversification and non-correlated satellite positioning.

 

This framework is based on academically rigorous research, actual battle-tested results over two decades of implementation, and theoretical models across four decades.

 
Always Invested and Always Hedged to Define Risk and Improve Outcomes.
