  1. 1How a pod is runA pod is a small team running capital inside a larger fund, under limits set by a central risk team. The limits shape every decision an analyst makes.8 min
  2. 2Volatility, correlation, and portfolio riskProA book's risk is not the sum of its positions' risks. Correlation decides how much they offset, which is why a long and a short in similar stocks can carry little risk together.9 min
  3. 3Beta, factors, and what is driving your P&LProDollar neutral is not market neutral, and market neutral is not factor neutral. Measure each layer so your P&L comes from the stocks you picked.9 min

  1. 4Building the bookProSize each position by its risk, check that you can get out, and balance the book so no single name, sector, or factor decides the year.10 min
  2. 5Drawdowns and the way backProLosses compound against you, capital cuts make them harder to recover, and volatility changes under you. Know the math and the playbook before the losing month comes.9 min
  3. 6Event risk: earnings, binaries, and optionsProEarnings and binary events move stocks by more than a normal day. Read the expected move from options, size for a bad outcome, and know when an option hedge is worth its cost.10 min
