Manage Risk
At Sustainable Investment Strategies we mange risk in portfolios in many ways. Such as:
- Managing downside risk. Downside risk is the potential for bad outcomes. Most professionally managed portfolios wrongly assess risk by assuming better than expected returns are just as risky as worse than expected returns. This is wrong for the simple fact that no one worries over better than expected outcomes – only worse than expected outcomes. Most investment managers subscribe to Modern Portfolio Theory which leads them down the wrong path when assessing risk in a portfolio. We subscribe to Post Modern Portfolio Theory.

- Careful selection of each holding in a portfolio. Among many other factors we scrutinize each holding for liquidity and diversification.
- An investment strategy that identifies entry and exit points for all holdings thereby eliminating large loss potential.
- Trailing stop loss of 10% is maintained on all positions.
