    The Universa Approach to Hedging Tail Risk Original Headline: Profiting from Disaster Author: Mark Pengelly Source: Risk Magazine | 10 Jan 2011

    The Universa approach to hedging tail risk Original headline: Profiting from disaster Author: Mark Pengelly Source: Risk magazine | 10 Jan 2011 Elevated concern about extreme events has boosted interest in hedging tail risk, but this means turning conventional fund management on its head. Mark Pengelly talks to Mark Spitznagel, founder of hedge fund Universa Investments Oscar Wilde once said expecting the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect. After the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression, this is perhaps more true than ever. Having been caught out by the ferocity of the crisis, investors are now much more aware of the risks of extreme events – and the fact they seem to occur a little more frequently than many had thought. This change in perception has led to a growing interest in a new generation of funds designed to perform well in times of crisis. One of the largest is Santa Monica, California-based Universa Investments – a hedge fund thought to have around $6 billion in assets. The company runs a series of so-called Black Swan Protection Protocol (BSPP) funds, which are believed to be structured separately for various clients, but are mostly run using a similar strategy – hedging tail risk in equity markets. Universa was founded in 2007 by Mark Spitznagel, now chief investment officer, while Nassim Nicholas Taleb – author of the book The Black Swan – is principal and senior scientific adviser at the fund. Spitznagel has known Taleb since the 1990s, when he was studying for a master’s degree at the New York University Courant Institute of Mathematics and Taleb was teaching as a professor.

Mark founded Universa Investments L.P. in January 2007 and has developed its unique focus on risk mitigation in the context of achieving long-term improvements to portfolio construction. His SAFE HAVEN INVESTING - P A R T F O U R investment career has spanned over 20 years as a derivatives trader, during which he has cultivated his approach to safe THE VOLATILITY TAX haven strategies, specifically bespoke tail hedging. February 2018 There are few statements in the pantheon of investment management clichés that ring truer than these words of Benjamin Graham: “The essence of investment management is the management of risks, not the management of returns. Well-managed portfolios start with this precept.” This is the same basic message as my favorite cliché that “defense wins championships.” (I have annoyed my hockey-player son to no end with that one.) Indeed, we have built an entire investment business around this principle. One doesn’t prioritize risk management over long-term compound returns; the two priorities are very much one-in-the-same. What we’ve learned in this Safe Haven Investing series so far is that the shape of the risk mitigation strategy’s payoff profile relative to systemic moves such as in the S&P 500 (SPX) is the most important determining feature of that strategy’s effectiveness at achieving that priority—more important even than, for instance, the average stand-alone return of that See important disclosures on the last page. © 2018-2019 Universa Investments L.P.

    Hedge Fund Billionaires Attack the Hudson Valley Wall Street Goes All in to Save Tax Breaks for the Wealthy

    HEDGE PAPERS No.39 HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES ATTACK THE HUDSON VALLEY WALL STREET GOES ALL IN TO SAVE TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY Hedge funds and billionaire hedge fund managers are destroying our economy, corrupting our government, hurting families and communities and exploding inequality. It’s happening all over America, and increasingly all over the world. And now it’s happening in the Hudson Valley. A tiny group of hedge fund billionaires have targeted the congressional campaign in the 19th House District of New York, spending millions of dollars to support GOP candidate John Faso and attack Democratic candidate Zephyr Teachout. SIX HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES HIT THE HUDSON VALLEY WITH $5.5 MILLION IN CAMPAIGN CASH The amount of campaign cash is amazing: we’ve found that six billionaire hedge fund managers from New York City, Connecticut and Long Island have given $5,517,600 to PACs and Super PACs active in the Teachout-Faso campaign in this electoral cycle. These same six men have given $102,768,940 in federal and New York state campaign contributions in the past two decades. They’re not doing it for nothing -- they want something in return. These hedge fund billionaires and their colleagues at hedge funds and private equity firms get billions of dollars in special tax breaks under the “carried interest loophole” – and they want to keep the loophole wide open. Closing the loophole would save the federal government an estimated $18 billion per year, according to an analysis by law professor Victor Fleischer.[1] But huge sums of lobbying and campaign cash directed at Congress – and Congressional candidates – by hedge funds and private equity firms have stymied reform in Washington and fueled continued obstructionism.

    8 FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, Washington, oc 20429 SHEILA C. BAIR CHAIRMAN October 2, 2009 Honorable Barney Frank Chairman Committee on Financial Services House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Frank: Thank you for your letter regarding specific consumer protection actions and initiatives undertaken by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation over the past ten years. I appreciate the opportunity to respond. As the nation's federal deposit insurer, maintaining consumer confidence and trust in the nation's banking system is a core function. Consumers have confidence in the banking system when banks treat them fairly, and when they can rely on mechanisms both within the industry and those established by government agencies to protect their interests. The FDIC does not consider a bank safe and sound if the bank does not treat its customers fairly. The Deposit Insurance Fund is there to make sure that consumers do not lose their insured deposits: but equally important to consumer confidence is ensuring that consumer protections are enforced on a routine basis, in good times and bad. It is clear that regulatory gaps in the financial system played a role in exacerbating the current financial crisis. However, the FDIC has continued to take a leadership role in protecting consumers. Whether taking enforcement actions, fostering a dedicated cadre of consumer protection ("compliance'') examiners, developing new consumer protection guidance, or serving as a v_ocal advocate on consumer protection issues, our track record demonstrates that consumer protection at the FDIC has not taken a back seat to any other concerns. Requesting Additional Consumer Protection Authority On a number of occasions - most recently in March of thi~ year- in testimony before the House Committee on Financial Services and in the Senate, we have asked for additional rulemaking authority to increase consumer protection (see Attachment A}.

    “Don’t mistake activity for achievement.” –John Wooden April 22, 2021 «Title» «First_Name» «Last_Name» «Job_Title» «Company» «Address1» «Address2» «City» «State_» «Postal_Code» Dear «Salutation»: If Hollywood made a movie based on the events that drove financial markets during 1Q 2021, most viewers would find the plotline too farfetched. (Then again, the same could probably be said for most of 2020’s major headlines!) The year started out with the Georgia senate runoff races securing Democratic control of Congress (via the Vice President’s Senate tiebreaking authority), paving the way for more fiscal stimulus than would have occurred with divided government. Then, on January 6, protesters in support of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol as Congress met to confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory. The protests turned violent, causing lawmakers to shelter in place. Ultimately more than 140 people were injured, and 5 people died, including a police officer. And all this occurred within the first seven days of the year! Then the Reddit/WallStreetBets crowd burst on the scene, with nonprofessional investors informally banding together to buy stocks that in many cases were heavily shorted (presumably by hedge funds), causing a “short squeeze” in certain stocks, most notably mall-based video game retailer GameStop. At one point during January, GameStop shares had advanced 1,741% for the year! This short squeeze destroyed some hedge funds and left former star hedge fund manager Gabe Plotkin of Melvin Capital nursing a 53% loss for January, causing him to seek a capital injection from his former boss, Steven Cohen, and Citadel Securities’ Ken Griffin.

It’s a massive giveaway to hedge fund and private equity firms that costs federal taxpayers $18 billion each year. Here’s how it works: These firms charge their investors fees for managing their money, but rather than classifying this as income they deem it carried interest, allowing them to pay lower tax rates.
