EQDerivatives Q1 Magazine Is Live!

The Spring 2017 edition of the EQDerivatives Magazine is live! In this issue, we look at the latest trends in volatility investing, alternative risk premia, and how to position in the run up to the French Election. The cover profile this quarter features Roni Israelov from AQR Capital Management, which focuses on how research and transparency is the key to the firm’s success. AQR took home three awards at the EQDerivatives Hedge Fund & Institutional Awards gala and ceremony in New York on March 13, including the Global Alternative Manager Of The Year award and The Risk Premia Manager Of The year award. Other winners at the event included BlueMountain, Malachite, Artemis, Air Canada, Annexus, Paloma and SWIB – coverage of the event can be found in the magazine. In our alternative risk premia coverage this quarter, we talk to CIO’s and strategists on mixing strategies to build diversified portfolios by combining aggressive and defensive premia. Furthermore, an increasing amount of investors are switching their fixed income exposures in to cross asset risk premia. We also take a look at dispersion opportunities and, separately, how Varma is outsourcing risk premia for efficiency. All this and much more in the Spring 2017 edition of the EQDerivatives Magazine!
