Risk Management.
We specialize in managing risk as this is the only factor that we can fully control in the market. We emphasize understanding the edge cases and tail risks that can easily be overlooked, and that matter most when markets deviate from expectations. We carefully study how trading risks might be bigger or more interrelated than they appear.
Intellectual Humility.
Staying humble allows us to question our assumptions and to update our views based on new arguments. Being skeptical and asking “why” are critical. We talk openly about mistakes because that’s the best way to learn from them.
Structure.
We strive to keep our hierarchy flat and minimize red tape. Decision making is as decentralized as reasonably possible. People who work here are partners working together toward shared goals.
