Of presidents and heart attacks – Risk control as diversification through time

In this short note we briefly introduce “risk” (for those readers unfamiliar with the concept and how it is defined); show conceptually how we are able to forecast and control it (for those concerned about risk in their portfolio and how it may be mitigated); and highlight, through a set of historic events, how even a risk-controlled portfolio remains at the mercy of idiosyncratic events.
