Unlike static procyclical indexing strategies (which just go up and down with the market and always rebalance back to the same risk exposure) our countercyclical approach rebalances in such a way that we will actually reduce exposure to
certain asset classes when the risk of permanent loss increases late in the market cycle.
When investors look for less yield and more total return (capital appreciation) in
certain asset classes, the equity sensitivity also plays an increasing role in absolute risk.
