FERI volatility strategies – successful and award-winning
Stability through volatility: our Flex funds
Our volatility strategies are an integral part of our multi-asset approach. The funds utilize an attractive source of returns beyond traditional bond and equity investments and contribute significantly to the stabilization and performance of portfolios. We have been shaping the market with our volatility strategies since 2012 and have successfully made them investable for institutional and private investors. With OptoFlex, US EquityFlex, and EuroEquityFlex, the Flex family now comprises three excellent funds with a long track record.
