Essentials of Risk Management in Investor Management

INTRODUCTION

Risk—and risk management—are inextricably linked to economic activity. People normally handle their affairs in order to be as happy and secure as their circumstances and resources allow. However, regardless matter how thoroughly these relationships are managed, there remains danger since the outcome, whether good or negative, is rarely completely predictable. Almost everything we do involves some kind of risk, but this reading will concentrate on economic and financial risk, specifically as it applies to investment management.
