Volatility Can Be Frustrating, Strategies For Investing With Composure in Volatile Markets
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The market volatility and asymmetric returns have begun to increase after several years of calm. The new Systematic Volatility strategies seek to earn a positive investment return in times of long-term high-volatility and declining markets, but with less portfolio volatility over a full market.

Systematic Volatility
After several years of calm, we currently face greatly increased levels of uncertainty, volatility and unpredictability, both in financial markets and in international affairs. The ongoing Euro area crisis, roiled by China's economic slowdown, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and central bank policies contribute to the level of concern and worry on the part of investors as they watch the value of their portfolios move up-and-down violently.
The level of risk exposure that an investor takes is fundamentally tied to their exposure to portfolio volatility.
The Wall Street Challenger, LLC presents two enhanced systematic volatility trading strategies that benefit from rapid price movements: Increased Volatility Targeted Strategy (IVTS) and Geared Increased Volatility Strategy (GIVS). GIVS evolved from IVTS. Paradoxically, IVTS and GIVS target volatility, but provides stable returns in times of long-term high-volatility and declining markets. Declining markets are associated with high-volatility.
Strategy Philosophy
We believe that attractive investment results may be achieved through systematic balancing based on the market's movement behavior and with minimal exposure to the risks associated with stock selection, market timing and factor bets. A solid understanding of the market's mathematical properties can create exploitable investment opportunities when a high-volatility environment occurs.
Distinctive Strategy Characteristics
IVTS and GIVS use mathematical properties of underlying funds in volatile environment. These strategies make dynamic allocation using a proprietary algorithm controlling underlying structures, eliminating the need to "time" the market or make the right market direction call in a long-term high-volatility and declining environment. A proliferation of global indexes, sectors, bond, commodity and currency-based ETFs expand the applicability of systematic volatility trading strategies.
