Capital Preservation Mandate

The capital preservation mandate is the core objective of the CPPI strategy, prioritizing the safety of the initial principal over maximum returns. It defines the floor and the constraints under which the portfolio operates.

This mandate influences every decision, from asset selection to multiplier calibration. It serves as a guiding principle for the risk management framework, ensuring that the strategy does not deviate into speculative behavior.

In the context of crypto, where volatility is extreme, this mandate is particularly challenging to maintain. It requires a disciplined approach to rebalancing and a clear understanding of the risks involved.

Adhering to the mandate ensures that the investor remains protected against catastrophic losses. It is the defining characteristic of the CPPI approach.
