Market views

Bullish

QIS— Simplify's QIS (Quantitative Investment Strategies) offerings provide defensive hedges and carry plays to mitigate tail risk and generate returns independent from traditional markets. These strategies are suggested as potential replacements for fixed income in portfolios due to challenges facing traditional bonds.
STRUCPREM— Structural premiums, such as liquidity or volatility, are driven by real-time market dynamics rather than static theories. This approach requires dynamic allocation due to shifts in potency.
CROSSRISK— Managing cross-asset risks, particularly between rates and equities, is important in the current market environment. OTC instruments are used to cover these risks.
VOLPREM— Volatility risk premium strategies can generate positive carry or yield, making them an attractive investment approach in certain market conditions.

Bearish

FIXEDINC— Traditional fixed income strategies face challenges due to low yields, vulnerability to rising rates, and increased correlation with equities during market shocks, questioning their status as safe haven assets.
