About Us
Our Approach
Tamarisk Capital Management was founded to provide systematic risk management strategies that were once exclusively reserved for elite private clients*. Previously, most investors were forced to choose between full market participation and meaningful risk management. Today, they no longer need to accept that trade-off. We believe every investor deserves the same structural advantages once reserved for institutions.
That's why we created the Defender Risk Adaptive 500 ETF which uses a systematic, rules-based risk overlay to stay invested when conditions are favorable and to reduce exposure when risk rises. Professional risk management is now accessible in one simple, transparent, low-cost ETF.
Our goal of bringing higher-level risk management to investors is evident in all aspects of our company, even our name. The tamarisk tree is a symbol of deep rooted stability and the unique capacity to flourish in the most demanding environments.
