ABSTRACT
Risk parity strategies, due to its sound investment principles and proven track record in recent years, have gained a certain degree of acceptance in the investment community, despite much initial criticism. Many asset managers have started oering and managing risk parity products on behalf of investors. In addition, many capable institutional investors carved out some of their own assets to run internal risk parity portfolios, based on their own conceptual understanding and sometimes with the help of external managers. It appears that there is a proliferation of risk parity strategies.
