Managing Risk in Fractally Intelligent Markets
About SN79 MVTRX
The Path to Structure and Enlightenment Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss probably did not have all the modern financial applications in his mind when working on what was to become to known as the Normal distribution. It is indeed by now well-established that financial markets, among also other much less complex, even “zero-intelligence” agent-driven systems, can act actually quite abnormally. Or in other words, they act normally “abnormally.” Therefore, from the perspective of risk management in financial markets, it is Gaussianity that is the real anomaly. Likewise, we are well aware that, as in the Nobel Prize winning Capital Asset Pricing Model and Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, standard finance theory tends to assume smooth, mathematically tractable data generation built on Normal Brownian motion. This is not an innocent assumption. It is based on a theory of interactions of small particles, or so-called “agents,” that cannot themselves disturb the whole system. Unsurprisingly, standard portfolio management and option pricing fail to predict the “abnormal” Black Swans — reminiscent of overconfidence in gambling. Risk management is for a very good reason often hailed as the Holy Grail of Finance, because those that control the risk, control the game of chance. Unlike with the House at the Las Vegas casinos, the intimidatingly evolving price paths of financial markets cannot be easily statistically controlled by any one entity — financial time series exhibit a much wilder, clustered nature of risk. The rougher paths are extremely clearly visible in the digital asset space, where many cryptocurrency prices appear to behave like highly volatile exchange rates and risky asset classes, such as energy. However, within this seemingly random craziness that ensues continuously, and constantly, there may exist a “Path to Structure”; let us call it here the “Path to Enlightenment.” While working at IBM in the 1960s, Benoit Mandelbrot — the later-crowned father of Fractal Ge
