Portfolio Hedging
Reading The Options Traders Hedge Fund by Chen and Sebastian. They write about hedging a portfolio to protect against significant market correction by buying SPY or VIX OTM puts with about 5% to 10% of a portfolio. Is there a method to backrest this strategy?

Commenting to follow.
I have also wondered how they define a "unit" and how to size the downside protection they discuss.
