Using Volatility to Add Alpha and Control Portfolio Risk

Volatility is a well-known and widely-studied aspect of financial markets, and has been the focus of numerous academic and industry research efforts over the years.

It is widely recognized that volatility can have a significant impact on investment portfolios, and as such, controlling risk has become a key priority for many investors.

One approach to managing portfolio risk is to use volatility as a tool to control the exposure of a portfolio to risk. This paper aims to explore the use of volatility as a risk management tool and alpha generator, with a focus on the practical application of this approach in the management of investment portfolios.
