Preparing for the unexpected: Tail risk and portfolio protection

In this episode of Top of the Swaps, Benard Muja is joined by fund manager Jack Roberts to discuss tail risk and why downside protection is increasingly important for investors. They explore what tail events look like in practice, how put options can be used as portfolio insurance, and the challenges of holding hedging strategies through calm markets.

The conversation also covers how Atlantic House evaluates and implements tail risk solutions, including the role of convexity, cost and reliability, and how protection can support portfolio resilience during periods of market stress.
