WHY PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION MATTERS
WATCH THE PRESENTATION
Portfolio construction is often framed as a question of what assets to include.
But that is only half the story. The other half is how we define risk, and what changes when we optimise through different risk lenses.
In this presentation, I ask a simple question: If we are comfortable with a benchmark portfolio’s return and volatility, how much more return might be available at the same level of risk when risk is measured differently?
