SECOR Asset Management uses proprietary models to perform all the necessary optimizations to provide clients a range or portfolios across the risk spectrum using both physical assets and derivatives.

They believe diversification, active portfolio management, liability management, and risk budgeting and risk oversight are the cornerstones of a well-managed investment program. These principles drive their asset allocation process. In addition, they believe their firm’s investment advisory experience, derivative expertise, innovation, and customized client solutions are areas of strength relative to our competitors.

They note their scenario analysis where they identify market events that could trigger large asset losses, large declines, and liquidity events.
