Howard Marks:Risk, Excerpt 12

Howard Marks《Risk》· Risk · Investing · Decision

First of all, given the inextricable linkage between analyzing a potential investment and assessing its risks, I question whether anyone else can know as much about this subject as the investment professionals directly involved. To me, “risk measurement officers” sound like armchair quarterbacks who’re brought in to tell the investment pros how they’re doing (although I concede that they may be useful in looking across the “silos” in multi-strategy portfolios to aggregate risk and look for fault lines). Second, I sincerely doubt that the risks that really matter are subject to modeling.
