PHILOSOPHY

At Bass Rocks Asset Management, we adhere to the following principles:

Equities: Balancing Risk and Reliability

Equities present inherent risks, but they have a proven track record of generating returns that surpass inflation over the long term. While short-term fluctuations can pose challenges, a diversified equity portfolio has historically provided reliable growth.

Options: Enhancing Risk Management

Options strategies can improve risk-adjusted returns by tapping into the volatility risk premium, generating additional cash flow, and mitigating the risks associated with equity investments. These tools offer valuable opportunities for managing and optimizing risk.

Versatility in Application

Options-based strategies are highly adaptable, making them suitable for a variety of portfolio applications. They can enhance equity portfolios, diversify fixed income allocations, or serve as a cost-effective component in alternative investment programs.

Active Management for Optimal Results

Investment environments and objectives vary, necessitating a flexible and dynamic approach. By employing a disciplined, active management process supported by a seasoned team, we aim to deliver superior outcomes and add value for our clients.

Why Choose Our Approach?

Equity Risk Premium Exposure: Provides a reliable source of long-term returns.
Volatility Risk Premium Exposure: Offers potential additional returns (alpha).
Exchange-Traded: Reduces counterparty risk.
Robust Liquidity: Minimizes risks associated with market illiquidity.

Commitment to Consistency

At Bass Rocks, our team leverages decades of experience in equity portfolio management and options-based investing to cater to specific client needs. We emphasize consistency and collaboration, with our portfolio management and operational teams working closely together to develop both active and rules-based solutions tailored to individual investment goals.

Core Focus on Risk Management

Risk management is central to our investment philosophy. We use options-based strategies as our primary tool for managing investment risk. The interplay between options and diversified equity portfolios can help to mitigate uncertainties often associated with traditional risk management methods. This approach enhances our ability to make informed decisions, stress-test portfolios in various market conditions, and assess potential impacts before implementing changes.

By maintaining a disciplined and collaborative approach, we strive to achieve long-term success and meet our clients’ investment objectives effectively.
