Strategic Risk Management

Campbell R. Harvey, Sandy Rattray & Otto van Hemert

Investors aim to build portfolios resilient to crises, balancing reliability and cost. While absolute crisis immunity is unattainable, combining passive protections like long credit positions with dynamic strategies such as trend-following and volatility targeting can mitigate drawdowns effectively. Trend-following captures momentum across asset classes, while volatility targeting adjusts leverage to stabilize returns. Strategic rebalancing further enhances resilience by maintaining diversification and capitalizing on market trends. The COVID-19 pandemic validated these approaches, highlighting the importance of integrating risk management with investment strategies. Additionally, managing human factors, such as investment manager performance, through drawdown rules and balanced decision-making, ensures long-term portfolio health. Finally, systematic and discretionary hedge fund strategies offer complementary strengths, with systematic approaches excelling in data-driven analysis and discretionary methods thriving on qualitative insights. A balanced application of these strategies, tailored to individual goals and risk tolerance, is key to achieving portfolio stability.
