Risk-Managed Investing

What is Risk, and How is it Managed?

When it comes to finances and investments, risk refers to the amount of uncertainty or potential financial loss associated with an investment decision. Different types of investments have different degrees of inherent risk and return potential. 

Risk tolerance refers to each individual’s level of comfort with fluctuations in a portfolio. Most often, higher risk can result in higher reward, but it can also result in larger fluctuation in value of your assets.  Risk tolerance is best defined as a spectrum - investors at one end of the spectrum are risk-averse, preferring to make investment decisions with minimal risk because they want to protect their assets. On the other end of the spectrum are investors with very high-risk tolerance. These individuals may choose to make riskier investments due to the higher probability of a larger return on investment. 

Risk-managed investing is an investment strategy aimed at attaining the most return for the lowest level of risk.  This is an important factor in investing because it will reduce losses during a bearish market cycles while still participating in the upside during bullish market cycles.  This strategy also provides insights as to the best times to deploy cash into investments and when to protect capital, another key element in investment risk management.
