My guest today is Vineer Bhansali, founder and CIO of Long Tail Alpha. Vineer’s 29-year investment career started at Citibank, where he founded and managed the Exotic and Hybrid Options Trading Desk. He later joined Salomon Brothers in its Fixed Income Arbitrage Group, followed by the CSFB Proprietary Trading Group. Dr. Bhansali was at PIMCO for 16 years, serving the last eight years as MD and Head of the Quantitative Portfolios Team, which he founded in 2008.

The topic is his journal A Behavioral Perspective on Tail Risk Hedging.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Is trend following mean reverting?
  • Tail risks
  • Tail hedges
  • Human behavior and biases
  • Importance of a dynamic portfolio

“[Trading] really very much depends on people’s behavior and your extraction of what is driving that behavior.” – Vineer Bhansali
