Richard Callahan has spent 28 years at the forefront of global institutional asset management. He began at leading Chicago and New York macro hedge funds managing peak assets over US$18 billion, specializing in cross-asset global macro allocation and systematic tail-risk hedging. For the following fifteen years he served consecutively as CIO for three North American ultra-high-net-worth single-family offices, each with investable assets exceeding US$3.5 billion across four generational cycles. His portfolios recorded maximum drawdowns of only -6.8% in 2008, -4.3% in 2020, and -5.1% in 2022—outperforming peer averages by approximately 20 percentage points in each crisis. The "dynamic risk-budget ceiling" framework he pioneered remains in use by several families today. At Yellowstone Capital, Richard holds sole responsibility for top-level asset allocation architecture and risk-ceiling determination across all client relationships. He personally chairs the weekly Investment Committee and ensures every asset-class exposure, leverage usage, and liquidity buffer is rigidly anchored to the client's pre-documented maximum tolerable loss. He also leads the co-development of bespoke insurance-wrapped structured products with top-tier European private banks and Swiss reinsurers, preserving predetermined exit pathways even under full market closure scenarios. His non-negotiable rule: no return assumption is valid until data first prove the client can sleep through the worst-case outcome.
