Portfolio risk too often sidelined
If the past 12 months have reinforced anything, it’s that the 'twin' of portfolio return — portfolio risk — can never be ignored. Yet when building investor portfolios, many practitioners have a predominant skill and focus on managing the potential and expected upside returns at the expense of managing downside risk.
At this year’s PortfolioConstruction Conference (August 26-27, 2009), Greg Cooper of Schroders and James Purvis of Active Portfolios will explore a variety of practical and useful portfolio risk management tools that practitioners can apply when building investor portfolios.
Now in its seventh year, PortfolioConstruction Conference has earned a reputation as the investment conference of the year. To register, go to http://www.PortfolioConstruction.com.au/Conference.
Research papers from the PortfolioConstruction Conference will be available in the August edition of Money Management’s Technical Adviser.
