Capital Allocation Committee
Capital Allocation Committee — Process assigning risk capital across strategies.
Definition
Capital Allocation Committee refers to process assigning risk capital across strategies. Keep that definition fixed when comparing series, managers, or regimes — renaming the same tape does not create a new signal.
Why it matters
It is an operating object: if the definition drifts, routing, risk limits, and audit trails drift with it. When process assigning risk capital across strategies shifts, related hedges, limits, and narratives usually need an explicit update rather than a quiet assumption.
Case
Suppose a desk is positioned for the opposite of what capital allocation committee is saying. If process assigning risk capital across strategies moves against that book, the first question is not “is the story clever?” but whether size, hedges, and stop logic still match the observation.
How to read it
Verify ownership, inputs, and failure alerts the same way you would for a production control. Prefer a short written null hypothesis for Capital Allocation Committee: what would falsify the current reading in the next window?
