Strategies & Tactics is a portfolio management & risk management consulting firm. Given the rapidly changing and volatile financial environment, our focus is on the disciplined use of derivatives (both OTC & exchange traded) in hedging, trading, and yield/cost enhancement programs for interest rate, equity, currency, energy, metal, and traditional commodity portfolios.

The objective of this WebSite is to maintain an interactive forum within which contemporary portfolio management and risk management issues can be discussed and explored. Within this context, portfolio is broadly defined to mean holdings of a) financial securities and borrowings, b) revenue generating production facilities (e.g., oil and gas wells, agricultural and livestock operations'), and c) end-user or mid-processor input requirements (e.g., energy inputs for utilities generating electricity, refiners producing products, airlines transporting passengers'). Also, within this context, risk is defined to mean the price, value, interest rate, and/or exchange rate risks associated with these portfolios.

We have organized portfolio management and risk management analytics and information we have developed and/or gathered over the past 20+ years in the following sections:
  • Background - Portfolio Management and Risk Management experience and related Background information on myself, Jim Hight.
