Universa Investments

Universa Investments appears in E43 张潇雨、孟岩对话许哲：没有更好的生活 as one of the tail-risk strategy references that initially attracts Zhang Xiaoyu / 张潇雨. The episode uses Universa alongside Nassim Taleb and Mark Spitznagel to motivate the question of whether a portfolio can be built to preserve or gain value when extreme market moves arrive.

The source’s treatment is cautious: Universa is not presented as an easy template for ordinary investors, because Tail-Risk Hedging depends on option pricing, execution, investor patience, and the ability to carry quiet-period costs.
