Matthias Knab, Opalesque for New Managers: When markets crashed on "Liberation Day" 2025, most "protective" strategies failed spectacularly - exposing a dangerous illusion in modern portfolio design. Opalesque's upcoming SKILLSLAB webinar on Thursday, October 23rd at 11am ET (4pm GMT, 5pm CET, 6pm Riyadh, 7pm Dubai, 8:30pm Delhi)will examine what actually works when markets panic, and why most defensive structures collapse precisely when investors need them most.
What You'll Learn
Drawing on his acclaimed "How to Panic" presentation in Chicago, Daniel Gelernter - Director of Artificial Intelligence at R.G. Niederhoffer Capital Management - will dissect why conventional "protection" is often just insurance theater. Using live demonstrations and real crisis data, Gelernter will explore:
* The physics of market panic and how self-stabilizing systems become chaos machines.
* Why most "protective" strategies are trend-following in disguise.
* The three non-negotiable elements of real protection: true liquidity, negative correlation, and volatility as a friend.
* Case studies from the 2025 Liberation Day crash and the 2023 bond reversal.
* A mathematical framework for evaluating any protection strategy.
Why It Matters
In a world where a single tweet can trigger a meltdown and "safe" bonds can crash 20% in weeks, yesterday's defensive playbooks are today's portfolio landmines. This session reveals what actually worked when markets broke - not in theory, but in practice.
Who Should Attend
Designed for family offices, institutional allocators, and sophisticated private investors, this interactive session assumes advanced knowledge of portfolio construction and risk management.
