On behalf of his investors, Chris has developed systematic and quantitative strategies that trade volatility. His long convexity approach enabled his investors to thrive through the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. And through his deep dive research publications, Chris has made a real contribution to the industry’s understanding of volatility. Chris was among the small number of investors that saw the instability that lurked beneath the market calm in 2017 and capitalized on it during the XIV meltdown in February 2018. Fundamentally geared investors seeking to understand the sudden bursts of market volatility that occur with greater frequency will benefit from listening to the perspective Chris brings on the reflexive nature of volatility.
