RISK MANAGEMENT

Adopting an Active Risk Management
  • Investment management risk is caused by improper investment decisions for its customers. The Company will control its investment management risk by:
  • Selecting appropriate asset class weightings in order to earn higher return and experience lower risk than expected
  • Estimating properly the impact of inflation in order not to erode the real value of the portfolio over time;
  • Managing the portfolio expenses in order not to deprive the customers of better returns;
  • Diversifying the portfolio properly by holding enough quantities of not-to-simnar securities with comparable risk and return trade-off profiles.
