Asymmetric risksJuly 2008 |
At our July breakfast, Anthony Asher and James Hickey spoke on Asymmetric risks. Key messages were:
- asymmetric risks should not be managed using black box models
- it is important to keep in mind that risk neutral models rely on artificial “statistical distributions”, and that real world models do not easily provide market prices
- risk neutral models are normally right for valuation purposes, but risk neutral probabilities cannot be used for determining capital
- there are particular systematic risks if investment guarantees become widespread. Investment guarantees do not obviously give investors much more value than a balanced portfolio – especially in the long run.
