Highlights: Risk Webinar Series, Navigating Crises As Long-term Investors

3 May 2021 - 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. The most widely-used statistics of investment risk, value-at-risk and probability-of-loss, omit details about what happens within an investment period, including how to know when systemic risk is rising and what might happen to their allocations, and newer statistics are beginning to gain traction to address these concerns.

Risk Webinar Series: Time Diversification – Patience or Complacency?

14 January 2021 - “Time diversification” is a principle that an investor’s statistical probability of loss decreases as the holding period increases. Long-term investors may overinterpret this statistical principle to indicate that risk in all of its forms is lower. In fact, longer holding periods also expose investors to a greater scale of potential losses and to more experience with turbulence. Our September webinar introduced the way in which these patterns have implications for diversification and asset allocation, and the implications also extend significantly to the way in which long-term investors define and estimate risk.
