Our Volatility Strategy
Our active investment approach makes volatility investable as a standalone asset class—delivering true diversification benefits within a portfolio. This enables investors to systematically benefit from inefficiencies and structural imbalances in volatility markets.
What makes Assenagon unique? Our experienced team systematically combines single-stock and index volatility to precisely exploit structural market imbalances. This so-called dispersion trading approach involves selectively buying volatility at the single-stock level while simultaneously selling index volatility.
We implement this differentiated investment strategy through two clearly positioned UCITS funds—each with its own risk profile, but both following the same consistent investment philosophy.
Our infrastructure has been specifically designed for use in a global investment context. Its architecture is technically sophisticated, distinctive, and not easily replicable.
Volatility offers unique correlation characteristics, making it a strategic building block within a broadly diversified asset allocation.
Two Volatility Funds
Which strategy is right for me?
Long Volatility-Strategy
Asymmetric return profile
Our Global Long Volatility Strategy offers significant return potential, particularly in market phases characterised by increased volatility — precisely when traditional components of an asset allocation are at risk of losses.
To achieve this, we selectively purchase single-stock volatility with strong alpha characteristics during periods of market stress, financing these positions by selling index volatility.
Our Premium Collector
Volatility as an asset class
There are many premium collectors in the volatility market. What sets our strategy apart is the targeted use of single-stock volatility to provide protection in times of rising volatility.
We harvest attractive index volatility premiums and hedge these positions through cost-efficient single-stock volatility exposures.
