TRAINING

How should research, portfolio construction and risk work together?

SRSPrime is developing training frameworks around the mechanics and discipline behind research, portfolio construction, risk, hedging and derivatives.

Audience: investors and finance professionals seeking a more structured investment process.

TRAINING FRAMEWORK

Practical investment-process education under development.

The framework is being organized so topics can stand alone or connect into an end-to-end process covering research, portfolio construction, risk and review.

RESEARCH

Research methods

Evidence design, thesis construction, source quality, catalysts, contradiction and research maintenance.

PORTFOLIO

Portfolio construction

Position sizing, concentration, diversification, correlation, liquidity, opportunity cost and capital allocation.

RISK

Exposure & hedging

Delta-adjusted and beta-adjusted exposure, gross/net notionals, hedge effectiveness, leverage, drawdown and scenario analysis.

DERIVATIVES

Options & futures

Calls, puts, covered calls, futures, convexity, path dependency and the distinction between nominal and economic exposure.

TYPICAL MODULE MAP

Training connects research, portfolio construction, risk and derivatives.

FORMAT

Designed to support modular or process-based training.

The developing format can focus on a single subject or connect research, portfolio construction, implementation, risk and review into one end-to-end framework.

FOUNDATIONS

Concepts & mechanics

Investment terminology, market instruments, portfolio mathematics, exposure and derivatives mechanics.

PROCESS

Decision workflow

How to move from research evidence to sizing, implementation, hedge decisions, invalidation and review.

SYSTEMS

Operating discipline

Research documentation, checklists, decision records, portfolio dashboards and repeatable risk controls.

Training remains a developing SRSPrime capability and will be introduced in general, non-personalized form.
