1-Page Brochure — Swan DRS Prime

In a low-yield world, investors face two “tail risks”:

  1. Allocate too much equities and experience large losses (right tail risk) 
  2. Allocate too much to low-yield/low return bonds and miss out on returns necessary to achieve long-term goals (right tail risk)

We believe hedged equity can help.

 

 

Balance Equity Market Participation and Downside Hedge

  • Seek consistent longer-term rolling returns over market cycles,
  • While mitigating the risk of major market declines

 

The Swan DRS  Prime approach is uniquely designed to address these enduring portfolio allocation challenges.

Review the simple, yet effective investment construction of the DRS Prime approach — engineered ‘to not lose big’.

Swan DRS Prime 1-Page Brochure — Outline

Since 1997, the Defined Risk Strategy (DRS) has provided an effective solution to this dual dilemma and is now offered in multiple vehicles, including separately managed accounts, ETFs, mutual funds, and even custom portfolio overlays.

 

Capable of Helping Investors Tackle Both Tail Risks
  • Left Tail Risk: Investors need to maintain global equity exposure to grow wealth. The COVID-19 pandemic created a global market crisis, reminding everyone about the risk of major losses.
  • Right Tail Risk: Investors might be wary of equity market valuations and volatility. Yet, under-exposure to equity markets may mean investors miss out on returns necessary to achieve long-term goals.

 

Swan DRS Prime Overview
  • The distinct Always Invested, Always Hedged investment process can help investors increase allocations to equity (asset class positioned to peform) while mitigating risk- addressing both tail risks for long-term, consistent returns.
