Arin Risk Advisors, LLC Announces Launch of Volatility Management Firm

Conshohocken, PA, February 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- With investors still reeling from recession losses and eager to avoid marketplace hazards, Arin Risk Advisors has assembled an array of experts and creative strategies to meet the challenge of a new era.

Working directly or through financial intermediaries, the new fee-only advisory firm provides clients with customized asset, risk and volatility management services. It is anchored by a team of veteran advisors led by Joseph DeSipio, the Chief Investment Strategist, and Jerry Snyder, Chief Operating Officer.

DeSipio has more than 18 years of experience in investment management. Before ARA, he advised a select group of wealthy clients for firms such as SEI Investments, Evergreen Investments, Wachovia, and Vector Capital Management, Inc. He is a CFA charterholder and a Financial Risk Manager (FRM).

Snyder also has 18 years of experience in delivering wealth management solutions to high net-worth families, corporations and nonprofit organizations. Previously, he held senior level leadership positions with SEI Investments, Deutsche Bank, United Bank and Fidelity Investments. He is an adjunct member of the CFA Society of Philadelphia.

ARA works with fiduciaries and asset managers as an independent account manager or sub-advisor to help clients and investment professionals achieve their investment goals by using volatility as an asset. Its customized volatility programs work for a wide variety of taxable and tax-exempt investors in the United States.

A key difference in ARA's approach to its services is its data exchange technology, Snyder said. "It allows assets to remain with their current custodian and primary advisor."

DeSipio said that advisors and clients had been searching for years to find scalable investment strategies to protect against losses and still participate in market upswings. The use of asset class diversification was widely employed as the prominent method of addressing this need. He pointed out that the respected investment expert, Geoff Considine, had written that diversification was never expected to protect portfolios from massive losses. ARA's strategies, working with investment advisors, aim to moderate losses across varying market conditions regardless of the size of the investor account.

Moreover, he said, ARA would be valuable to many fiduciaries and boutique managers that offer their clients access to external managers in order to avoid any charges of self-dealing or conflicts of interest.

ARA's management team also includes Isaac Kuznits, CFA, formerly a convertible bond trader at Credit Suisse in London, England; Tami Fratis, an investment professional with 26 years of experience in private equity; David D. Comey, CEO of Inmate Health Services, who has 30 years of experience as a management and organizational leader with the health care, software and artificial intelligence industries, and Peter van Kleef, CEO of Lakeview Arbitrage, who has 15 years of experience in developing and running sophisticated automated trading operations.
