Wiley today announced the publication of ‘Strategic Risk Management: A
Practical Guide to Portfolio Risk Management’, a Wiley Finance Series
featuring expert insight, advice, and guidance for how to manage risk
across all aspects of a fund.
Risk management is a holistic process, encompassing the full range of
fund activities and responsibilities, beginning with the setting of
objectives and the appointment of a board to hiring of fund managers and
performance evaluation. Yet, far too many investors confuse risk
management with risk diversification.
A misstep, conflict, or miscommunication in one area can have a domino
effect, cascading through the entire system that in turn could
significantly magnifying risk and hampering a fund’s ability to meet its
objectives and responsibilities.
Written by David Iverson, head of asset allocation with New Zealand
Superannuation Fund, the book offers time-tested methods of planning,
preventing, and managing risks that are inherent in governance, asset
allocation, timing, structural, manager, implementation, and monitoring
or performance evaluation. A resource for the owners, trustees,
beneficiaries; and staff of professionally managed defined benefit
plans, endowments, defined contribution schemes, and family trusts and
offices; who need to know what risks exist in their funds—whether
pension, endowment, or trust. They will find numerous scenarios based on
the author’s many years of experience as a top institutional investor
and portfolio manager on how to manage these risks.
Topics covered in the book include organizing the risk management
framework; in-depth discussions of risk governance, benchmarks,
investment beliefs and strategies; the purpose of a fund; decision
framework that discusses active versus passive management; manager
selection and much more.
