Nassim Taleb speaks about tail-risk to over 1'000 in Vancouver and Calgary

Lionscrest and its Canadian partner HorizonsETFs arranged for Nassim Taleb to speak about risk management and antifragility in Vancouver on October 25 and Calgary on October 26 in front of over 1'000 professional investors.  Nassim was accompanied by his partners at Universa Investments who were on hand for discussions with prospective investors.

Nassim's speech focused on risk management and on describing the Antifragile: "things that gain strength from stressors and get stronger from failure". He made the following points:

• Fragile things shatter when stressed - Antifragile things benefit from stressors
• While risk is not truly measurable, fragility is
• To make things antifragile requires introducing stressors that thrive in periods of change and uncertainty
• To make portfolios antifragile requires introducing hedges that benefit from stressors

Lionscrest with its partner Universa Investments, the world's foremost expert on hedging tail-risk (Black Swans), and its Canadian partner Horizons ETFs, offer tail-hedging solutions that are antifragile.
