Alpha Is Not A Risk Management Technique:
Summary:
•Investors often focus their analysis on benefits. In the finance industry, we’ve distilled this down to a single metric: alpha.
•Benefits and risk require separate analysis. Increasing benefits does not necessarily reduce risk or even leave it unchanged.
•In practice, increasing alpha can actually increase risk in many portfolios.
