Kraken are legendary sea monsters of giant proportions feared by all seamen. Using this metaphor, volatility could be referred as the "Kraken" of the financial market. As it surges, it could "devour" an entire portfolio. At Kraken Capital, our mission is to develop intelligent managed volatility strategies to tame market volatility and to protect investors' portfolios against tail risk and Black Swan events. The recent financial turmoil has brought the issue of tail risk back into the spotlight. Many investors realize the importance of putting a strategy in place which offers some measure of downside protection in the event of a large, unforeseen market shock. Tail-risk events - which are loosely defined as the probability of rare events taking place that could impact a portfolio of investments - are happening more frequently these days and need to be addressed by investors to protect their investments if they want to survive in this “New Normal” economy. It is our belief that most institutional investors will conclude tail risk hedging makes sense as part of their strategic asset allocation. We think hedging strategies can add value to a portfolio by being both a defensive and offensive play. Only sophisticated investors should request information from Kraken Capital. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Kraken Capital is registered as a CTA (NFA ID# 0464126) with the CFTC and is a member of the NFA in that capacity.
