# Risk Assessment

Data Analysts screen any potential active strategies to be integrated into the Convex Index through a series of risk-assessments, ensuring any integrated active strategy improves the risk-adjusted performance of the index.

* Filter non-stable assets to avoid exposure to IL and volatile asset prices.&#x20;
* Filter out the lowest APR listings to preserve yields&#x20;
* Slippage (review of amplification coefficient)&#x20;
* TVL (ensure sufficient TVL to reduce risk of sufficient exit liquidity)&#x20;
* Review min volume required to reduce risk of mispricing from market inefficiency&#x20;
* Review mechanics that maintain stablecoin peg with USD&#x20;
* Assess exit strategies should a depeg or liquidity event arise&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cortexdao.com/the-convex-index/risk-assessment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
