And you know, at the end of the day, un unless we have investment guidelines or restrictions from clients, you know, we seek alpha with a bit of ag agnosticism to both the benchmark and the region. 00:27:56 [Speaker Changed] So let’s talk a little bit about riskmanagement. What are some other unintended risks?
And risk is not about not losing money. Riskmanagement is not about not losing money. Riskmanagement is about unexpectedly losing money. But riskmanagement is always about understanding what could go wrong and quantifying what could go wrong. Worst case downside. Exactly right.
Risk Assessment and Management: Identify potential financial risks and develop riskmanagement strategies. This includes evaluating market risks, credit risks, operational risks, regulatory risks, and other factors that may impact the business's financial stability.
If you’re all interested in macro investing, trend following, commodities, currencies, fixed income, various types of quantitative strategies, and most important of all, riskmanagement, you’re going to find this conversation to be absolutely fascinating. With no further ado, my interview of GCM’s Ken Tropin.
SEIDES: If the S&P is your benchmark, which it isn’t for these pools of capital. RITHOLTZ: What should be their benchmark? So the proper benchmark for those pools has to look a little bit like the underlying assets they’re investing in. So what do you use for a benchmark? 14, 15% a year? RITHOLTZ: Right.
Elizabeth Burton : I think it’s because I went into riskmanagement straight out school on the risk side of fund to funds and, and various other industries. So, so let’s talk a little bit about riskmanagement. We actually have a budget for riskmanagement and technology and tools.
Another the great lesson, and I was still a global macro portfolio manager with my own silo at SAC Capital. And at the SAC Capital, it was all about riskmanagement. I’ve focused much more on riskmanagement, downside risk hedging. The hedge fund industry, generally, is outperforming their benchmarks.
They might have, you know, risk parameters, they might have liquidity needs, they might wanna track a benchmark. We just have to think about managing the money in the best way that we can. 00:34:11 [Speaker Changed] What about, since people are talking about hedging, how do you think about riskmanagement?
BITTERLY MICHELL: … riskmanagement. And we do a lot of research in this area, and we provide a lot of information both in terms of networking opportunities for family offices, as well as family offices recognizing kind of their own benchmarking, right? What did you do to entertain them? RITHOLTZ: Right.
They create the benchmark. DAVIS: A big part of it is really around when there’s more complicated corporate actions that are happening that entail a level of risk. So when there’s a major turnover like that that happens, you always have the option, “Hey, can you do it exactly on the time that it enters the benchmark?
We just get to focus on assets and asset riskmanagement. So earlier we were talking about assets, and then you referenced riskmanagement. RITHOLTZ: Tell us a little bit about the difference between managingrisk and merely owning assets. What’s been keeping you entertained? SALISBURY: Yes.
And they also have a unique approach to feeds when they’re generating alpha, when they’re outperforming their benchmark, they take a performance fee. Some people look at a casino as entertainment and hey, we’re gonna spend X dollars, pick a number, 500, 2000, whatever it is. Riskmanagement.
So that is a big focus and if you think about what riskmanagers would do at a casino, it’s the same thing. One is the manager can only overweight and underweight stocks in the index. What’s keeping you entertained? Alright, we only have you for a, a couple of minutes. Either Netflix podcast, Amazon, whatever.
