Thought for the weekend
Risks are a bad thing, so focusing on the the risks does not sell your product whereas risk management is a good thing so focusing on that might help you sell. You can’t actually do good risk management unless you focus on risks – but the angst that gives a good fund manager need not be seen by clients. A good salesman will hide that angst because – well – what sells is the illusion of certainty.
