Rational Decision Making Trumps Simple Risk Management
Risk management should be viewed as a process of rational decision making regarding investments rather than just risk control. The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) plays a crucial role in investment firms, particularly on the buy side, where effective risk management functions are essential for hedge funds to thrive. A rigorous quantitative approach underpins successful risk management, emphasizing the need for a firm culture steeped in quantitative research and a strong understanding of the basics among all team members. This holistic understanding and focus on rationality create a significant advantage in risk management practices.
