Arin Tactical Tail Risk 

ATTR seeks to provide exposure to US large-cap equities while aiming to mitigate severe market drawdowns. To do so, the fund employs a four-pronged investment strategy: box spreads, short puts and long call spreads, opportunistic equity exposure, and protective puts. The box spreads aim to earn interest based on collateral with minimal risk. Option spreads aim to generate positive returns or income during bull or flat markets, with capped downside risk. Equity positions begin to be established when the S&P 500 Index declines 15%. The equity exposure increases each time the index declines another 5% until the maximum portfolio allocation is 50% equity. In essence, equity exposure is a systematic buy the dip approach. The protective puts provide an always-on tail-risk hedge and a drag on the portfolio returns. Altogether, the strategy is to provide a balanced approach to offense and defense. Generally, the equity exposure will range between 100% to 40% of the portfolio.
