Risk Mitigation

  • Effective risk mitigation is all about lowering losses in a portfolio and raising the rate of compounding (and thus the terminal wealth in the portfolio)
  • Investor’s ability to maximize terminal wealth has been driven by the portfolio’s sensitivity to large drawdowns
  • An effective risk mitigation strategy maximizes protection in bad markets, and minimizes the cost of the strategy in good markets
