KRINO CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

KRINO

A systematic options program.

KREE-no · Gr. krinein — to separate, judge, decide

Selected, not designed.

01 — THE NAME

Krinein: to separate, to judge, to decide. The root of criterion, of critic, of crisis — every word we have for the moment a thing is held up and either kept or let go.

The firm is named for that moment. It is not a description of what we believe. It is a description of what we do, and the only thing we do.

The process is designed. The outcome is selected.

02 — THE CRITERION

A population is held against one criterion. The criterion is set before the test, not after.

THRESHOLD

FIG. 01 — POPULATION: What clears the bar earns the next test. Rejection is remembered — re-entry requires new evidence.

03 — POSITION

01The cleverest idea is not the one that pays.

02The one that survives contact is.

03What remains was never designed. It was selected.

04 — RESTRAINT

Restraint is the method.

No forecast carries authority by itself.

We do not defend a position because we hold it.

Nothing is scaled on the strength of a backtest.

We do not confuse a good argument with evidence.

05 — THE INITIATIVE

The same criterion, applied to people.

Krino applies a criterion to strategies. We believe America, at its best, applies one to people: merit — not where you started, but whether what you built survives contact.
