What Is Regime-Aware Risk Management and How Does It Work?
Regime-aware risk management adjusts risk parameters — position sizes, stop-losses, correlation assumptions, tail hedges — based on the current macro regime and fragility level. In stable low-fragility regimes, parameters can be permissive. In Stagflation or high-fragility environments, position sizes should be reduced, tail hedges increased, and correlation assumptions stress-tested against scenarios where all assets move together.

Risk Parameters by Regime and Fragility
| Regime + Fragility | Position Sizing | Correlation Assumption | Tail Hedge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goldilocks + Low Fragility | Full | Historical | Minimal |
| Goldilocks + High Fragility | Reduced 20–30% | Stress-tested | Moderate |
| Stagflation + Any Fragility | Reduced 30–50% | Assume positive | Elevated |
| Transition Window | Reduced 20–40% | Unstable — diversify | Moderate to elevated |

Known Limitations
- Regime-aware risk management requires accurate regime and fragility identification
- Tightening risk parameters in high-fragility environments reduces returns when fragility does not materialize
- Not investment advice.
