VANTAGE

Markets & Capital
Markets & Capital
You’re planning operations in a denied environment. You need to know how populations react, how information spreads, who amplifies influence and where adversaries disrupt it. The traditional approach relies on reports, experts, and small tabletop exercises. It’s slow, subjective, and built on assumptions. Foresight replaces assumptions with simulation.
Your thesis was right. The path killed you anyway.
You sized the position. Tested the thesis. Ran the stress scenarios. Then the unwind began, not because fundamentals were wrong, but because every other fund was in the same trade and they all hit their risk limits simultaneously.

VaR didn't see it. It was measuring historical volatility while the cascade was building in real time.
The Blind Spot

Risk models measure what already happened. They assume correlations persist, that volatility stays bounded, that counterparties sit still while you model them.

But you're not trading against history. You're trading against everyone else's response to the same information you're seeing right now. When stress hits, they move. Their movement changes the market. The market hits your book. Your stress test didn't model this because it couldn't.

The only remaining alpha is seeing what others can't: how the entire market responds to the same shock you're preparing for.

What It Does

Counterparty Behavior Modeling. Market participants with capital constraints, mandate restrictions, risk limits, and behavioral patterns. When the scenario hits, they respond. You see how before it happens.

Forward Stress Testing. Not historical replay. Scenarios where counterparties react to shocks and to each other. Cascade dynamics, forced liquidations, and liquidity gaps before they reach your P&L.

Crowded Trade Detection. Identify where strategies cluster into identical positions. Simulate the unwind. Quantify exposure to consensus that looks diversified until everyone exits at once.

Full Distribution Modeling. Thousands of paths across rate trajectories, credit spreads, volatility regimes, liquidity states. Not a point estimate. The full distribution, including the tails.

Documented Conviction. When the CIO asks why you're sized this way, you have the scenarios. When the risk committee pushes back, you have the paths. When regulators ask, you have the audit trail.

Who Uses It

Macro Funds · Prop Desks · Multi-Strategy Platforms · PE Firms · Allocators

Why It Works

Markets aren't random. Participants behave according to constraints that repeat under pressure. The fund that liquidated in March will liquidate again under similar conditions. Vantage models those patterns and sharpens them with real outcomes. The longer you run it, the more accurate it gets.

The Difference

VaR tells you what you lost last time.

Vantage shows you which paths forward don't survive, before you're on them.

The difference between hoping your plan works and knowing where it breaks.
