Survivable gap
25%
1/m at the shipped multiplier. Shown on deposit, not buried.
CPPI in full. This is the product. Everything else is plumbing.
Formula
C = V − F E = min(m × C, V) S = V − E
V is position value. F is the floor. m is the multiplier. E is risky exposure. S is the SGOV leg.
Worked example
Deposit $10,000 · floor 90% · m = 4
Position is worth $9,600. Cushion shrinks. Target risky drops to $2,400. Exposure contracts as the floor approaches. That is the whole point.
