One of the key components of our strategy is that is does not need a special market environment to be effective. That means we can execute our trading strategy in rising, falling and flat market environments.
Favorable Likelihood of Success

While the past is not a guarantee of future success, we can learn from the past. For example, did you know that since 1990, when the VIX ® has been under 20%, that the S&P 500 has not declined more than 5% in any week? While this in and of itself is no guarantee that it will not happen in the future; it is relying on favorable probabilities of success like this, that in the aggregate produce positive returns for our clients.
