5 January 2022 - Crises happen. Long-term investors are more exposed to them simply by virtue of their long holding periods. Their task cannot be to avoid crises, so instead they have to be resilient to them, which includes being able to anticipate them as well as possible so that board and staff know what they can expect, prepare accordingly, and proceed with their eyes wide open.
