Risk Management
Though investment involves compensation for risk in the form of return, investors must:
- Identify, measure and understand investment risks.
- Seek to mitigate exposure to risk that exceeds tolerances while hedging factor-specific risks.
- Receive commensurate compensation for risk consistent with investment goals.
This is particularly important in today’s environment, in which global markets are highly interconnected and experience more volatility in the form of price movement. Unexpected market shocks (or tail risks) are more common and change the view of normal investment distributions. The following risk solutions may complement investors' portfolios by providing a investments that seek to mitigate exposure to risk, while seeking to receive compensation for that risk.
