The FRAMEWORK
In the 18th century, mathematician Daniel Bernoulli observed St. Petersburg merchants sending twenty ships across treacherous waters. Nineteen returned laden with goods—but one was inevitably lost. The arithmetic said merchants would profit without insurance. Yet every merchant bought it. Why? Because losing a single ship destroyed their ability to compound wealth voyage after voyage.
Bernoulli proved that strategic insurance wasn't a cost—it was the secret to getting richer. Three centuries later, Universa Founder and Chief Investment Officer Mark Spitznagel, have built more than $20B in AUM on this same principle.
