Effective risk assessment

AnText Box:  
effective risk assessment process should do the following.

  • Educate the investor regarding risk and the effect of risk aversion on portfolio structure.

  • Assess the investor’s attitude to liability risks (risks to ability to meet financial security), volatility and performance risks.

  • Provide clarity between the risk assessment and the effect of risk preference on portfolio structure.

  • Provide a basis for consistent reassessment of risk aversion and continuing education.

  • Provide a basis for constant communication of risk, risk preference and risk management relative to current stock market and economic conditions.

Importantly the risk assessment should neither perpetuate ignorance nor reinforce misunderstanding.
