Dr. Jan Rosenzweig
Portfolio Manager
Pine Tree Market Neutral

Abstract Biography

Fat Tailed Diversification: Entropies, Tail Covariances et al

There are infinitely many ways to orthogonalize a basket. In the presence of fat tails, though, orthogonalization is only a part of the equation. We will discuss general approaches to the other, missing part of this equation, and a specific realization of such approaches using a power-law estimate for marginal entropies. This results in a parallel diagonalization of the usual covariance matrix, and a specific slice of the mixed moment tensor, termed the tail covariance matrix. We will show some examples, and discuss general ways forward.

Dr. Jan Rosenzweig, Portfolio Manager, Pine Tree Market Neutral

Jan has been working in the financial markets for close to 20 years, as a quant, structurer, trader and portfolio manager. He worked at Credit Suisse, Rabobank, HSH Nordbank, IV Capital, Brancherose and Pine Tree. He has a PhD in applied maths from Cambridge and BSc in applied maths and computer science from Zagreb. Jan is based in London.
