A proper respect for risk
Risk and return are inextricably linked. A fund manager needs to be consistently concerned with two key types of risk – market risk and operational risk. Good market risk management is important as a counterbalance to fund selection. It is important to identify exposures at the portfolio level that result from the investment styles of the underlying fund managers and any drift in those styles.
