Crisis Alpha

What do you guys use to generate alpha and convexity during a crisis? This is very important if you do not want 50%+ drawdowns.

I think 60/40 may no longer work as expected going forward. We need something that is more reliably anti-correlated with momentum stocks ("passive" SPX is a momentum strategy).

Long/short managed futures is promising. Treasuries are correlated with stocks during inflationary periods. Gold is good but only for certain types of events. Bitcoin is mostly a risk asset itself. Forex carry trades are non-correlated but not anti-correlated.
