ARA believes active and passive volatility management is an essential aspect of successful investment management.

All investors, from individuals to fund managers, can employ the volatility of their investments in an effort to improve risk adjusted returns, enhance yield, or mitigate risk.

ARA works with fiduciaries and asset managers as an independent separate account manager or sub-advisor to educate clients and investment professionals on using volatility as an asset in order to achieve their investment objectives.

The implementation of these strategies enables a client to receive hedge fund like sophistication with daily pricing and position level transparency. The tax results for these programs are reported on Form 1099 and avoid the delays and expense of a K-1 tax form.
