Premialab Enhances QIS Offering with Launch of Three New Pure Factors

LONDON, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Premialab, a leading provider of data analytics and risk solutions, announced the expansion of its Premialab Pure Factors® suite with the introduction of three new factors designed explicitly for downside protection in volatile market environments and tail risk mitigation.

Leveraging its database of over 5,000 quantitative investments strategies provided by 18 leading investment banks, Premialab has developed a unique multi-factor model capturing the consensus implementation of systematic strategies. The firm's existing Premialab Pure Factors® suite includes unique risk premia factors across all asset classes and regions.

Through rigorous statistical analysis eliminating model specific noises, Premialab has introduced Premialab Equity US Dispersion Pure Factor®, Premialab Equity US Long Volatility Pure Factor®, and Premialab Multi Asset Global Tail Hedge Pure Factor®, which aim to provide tailored hedging during periods of market drawdowns and volatility spikes.

Premialab Equity US Dispersion Pure Factor® captures the implied-realized volatility premium typically found in options on S&P 500, by taking a short position in index implied volatility and a long position in single-stock implied volatility.

Premialab Equity US Long Volatility Pure Factor® capitalizes on sudden increases in market volatility. As the US market reference for equity volatility premium and protection during severe sell-offs, it takes advantage of volatility spikes by buying options on S&P 500 and VIX futures.

Premialab Multi Asset Global Tail Hedge Pure Factor® comprises four distinct underlying categories that collectively benefit from significant market declines. It includes option buying on S&P 500 and VIX futures, integrates a cross-asset trend component, and takes long positions in rates volatility.

"Robust performance and risk management tools are imperative in today's uncertain macro environment," said Adrien Geliot, CEO of Premialab. "The addition of these bespoke tail risk premia factors strengthens our quantitative toolkit and ability to help investors navigate challenging market conditions".
