Managing Risk: Q&A With David Iverson
Investment risks need to be identified, understood and managed, according to David Iverson, Head of Asset Allocation with the New Zealand Super Fund and member of the Brandes Institute's Asia-Pacific Advisory Board. Iverson, who wrote the book Strategic Risk Management, shared his thoughts on key risks facing investors today—and how to address them. He urged caution when considering factor-based and private-equity investing and reminded investors to put short-term results (whether good or bad) into proper, longer-term contexts.
