Howard Marks:Risk, Excerpt 1

Howard Marks《Risk》· Risk · Investing · Decision · Action · Cognition

The reading materials for a meeting of a corporate board on which I sit – and what turned out to be an eight-hour meeting of the audit committee (thank you, Messrs. Sarbanes and Oxley) – included an article by Rick Funston, a Principal of Deloitte & Touche LLP and its National Practice Leader for Governance and Risk Oversight. The subject of the article was corporate risk, but many of its points were equally applicable to investment risk. It got me thinking. We’re all preoccupied with the quest for excellent investment returns, and most of us understand that risk management has a lot to do with achieving them. From there, investment orthodoxy often takes over, with the discussion turning to the relationship between return and volatility.
