ReSolve Asset Management explains how risk parity aims to build portfolios that can perform across different economic regimes by balancing risk rather than capital. The paper challenges the traditional 60/40 model, noting equity exposure can drive nearly 90% of total risk, and argues diversification requires adapting to changing inflation and growth environments.
