Risk engineering for portfolios that matter.

Verio Labs designs systematic tail-hedge programs, stress tests portfolios, and builds the tooling to monitor risk in real time—grounded in options markets, not slide decks.

Who we work with

We partner with allocators and investors who take risk seriously—and want it documented.

Family Offices

Multi-generational wealth with concentrated positions and bespoke governance needs

RIAs & Wealth Managers

Advisors who need institutional-grade risk analysis for client portfolios

Asset Managers

Hedge funds and long-only managers seeking independent risk perspectives

HNW Individuals

Founders, executives, and principals with significant equity exposure

Clear work. Concrete outputs.

Every engagement produces artifacts you can audit, revisit, and build on.

Tail hedge program design

  • Define objective, budget, triggers, and governance
  • Backtest across regimes
  • Produce implementable trade specs & monitoring plan

Portfolio stress testing

  • Scenario design (historical + forward narratives)
  • Exposure decomposition (delta/vol/corr/liquidity)
  • "What breaks first?" reporting

Options research & tooling

  • Surface analytics, skews, carry, convexity
  • Backtesting frameworks
  • Monitoring dashboards & alerts

Education for decision-makers

  • Options & risk literacy for ICs / founders / CFOs
  • Clear memos, not theory seminars

Independent by design. Built like a desk.

We apply trading-desk standards to client work: precision, auditability, and zero product sales.

  • We don't sell products. We build decision-quality research.
  • We're comfortable with constraints: liquidity, governance, operational reality.
  • You get artifacts: models, assumptions, and a trail you can revisit.

A process you can hold us to.

Clear phases, clear handoffs. You always know where we are.
