What follows is a recording of my presentation to the San Francisco chapter of the American Association of Individual Investors on June 25th. Given the proximity to San Francisco, many of these investors have large positions in current or former employers’ shares, so risk management was of particular concern to them.
Slopers with a similar concerns may find this of interest, although I also discussed the importance of hedging market risk. In addition, I discussed the hedged portfolio method for constructing portfolios designed to maximize expected return while strictly limiting risk.
