Insights Risk

Nothing ventured, nothing gained - so the saying goes. In principle, the same applies to financial investments: the higher the risk, the better the long-term return. However, this classic view is contradicted by the fact that low-risk securities yield better long-term returns than high-risk securities. This phenomenon is known as the low-volatility premium. So those who strive for higher returns do not necessarily have to take greater risks. A risk-optimized equity strategy not only makes it possible to increase the proportion of equities, but also generally offers a greater degree of freedom in portfolio design and thus the opportunity to make optimal use of the risk budget.
