The I/O Fund uses a risk-averse strategy on its research site rather than being speculative, utilizing cash and a proprietary automated hedge to protect its research site portfolio from downside.
This framework explains how we balance real-time execution with downside protection — so members can follow positioning and risk context in the same language we use internally.
01. Risk Leadership — Knox Ridley's Approach
Risk Leadership
Portfolio Manager Knox Ridley leads a disciplined framework that blends real-time execution with downside protection. The process combines automated hedging, active cash management, and clearly communicated trade alerts so members can understand both positioning and risk context.
Role: Oversees risk controls, cash posture, and tactical portfolio adjustments through changing market regimes.
02. Strategic Control
Our Process
Position Exposure Control
We optimize portfolio allocations to capture upside and mitigate downside. Position sizing and exposure are managed actively so that conviction aligns with volatility and macro conditions — not just thematic optimism.
Automated Hedge
A proprietary automated hedge tool helps protect the portfolio during periods of elevated market volatility. It is designed to complement fundamental and technical work rather than replace it.
Cash Position Strategy
We are not afraid to pivot to cash when market conditions warrant it. Raising cash is treated as a tactical risk decision — preserving optionality for the next cycle when reward-to-risk is more favorable.
