Lower drawdown
THE EQUITY INSURANCE PREMIUM
▪ The fund invests in a long dated, low strike covered put strategy
▪ Equity Linked Defined Return Investments offer an enhanced return
▪ The payoff and capital value of each investment is subject to the performance of underlying markets
▪ Investors are selling covered puts and so underwriting equity market risk
▪ The “price” of equity put options exceeds the “value”
▪ The fund earns the Equity Insurance Premium through selling covered puts
▪ The Equity Insurance Premium is a persistent source of returns based on three factors
▪ Behavioral Factors; investors loss aversion means that they are prepared to pay to avoid losses
▪ Structural Factors; regulations limit the risks that banks, insurance companies and pension schemes can take, so they are require to insure against losses
▪ Economic Factors; greater reliance on personal savings increases the demand for equity protection
▪ Multiple studies confirm the attractive returns from underwriting equity market risk.

Traditional autcalls have a large discontinuity if the Capital at Risk Barrier is breached at maturity. In the example here, if the index closes below the Barrier level, initial capital will be reduced at a rate of 1% for every 1% the closing level of the index is BELOW ITS INITIAL START LEVEL.
The Levendi progressive risk at maturity offers a smooth erosion of capital in the event that an index closes below the Capital Threshold Level. The table and chart below compares the Levendi approach to final capital redemption to traditional autocalls.

RISK MANAGEMENT OVERLAY CAPS FUND VOLATILITY
PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS ONLY. Levendi Investment Management Limited is an appointed representative of Thornbridge Investment Management LLP which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Fund volatility can be approximated as Market Volatility x Exposure
In normal market conditions exposure is expected to be between 4% and 6%
When markets fall, volatility tends to increase and exposure will rise so the volatility of the fund will rise to be too high
30% 50% 30% 6.00%
The risk management overlay reduces market exposure and so caps the volatility of the fund
