Universa Investments L.P. is an investment management firm focused on risk mitigation and tail hedging. It was established in January 2007 by founder and chief investment officer Mark Spitznagel, with Nassim Nicholas Taleb serving as a scientific advisor who helped formalize tail hedging for client portfolios more than two decades ago. The approach emphasizes cost-effective risk mitigation to limit large drawdowns and to enable more efficient capture of risk premia in normal markets.

Universa’s strategies aim to maximize convexity, seeking greater portfolio loss protection for a given capital allocation. The firm has provided live tail risk mitigation for clients during the 2008 crisis and has continued applying these methods since. It is based in Miami, Florida, and operates as a small- to mid-sized investment management firm.
