Black Swan Strategy

Definition

A Black Swan Strategy is an investment approach designed to profit from rare, unpredictable, and high-impact market events. This strategy typically involves allocating a small portion of a portfolio to instruments that yield significant returns during extreme market downturns or unexpected crises. It functions as a form of extreme risk mitigation, seeking large gains from events considered highly improbable but devastating if they occur. The strategy accepts frequent small losses in exchange for infrequent, substantial profits.
