title: Managing investment risk.
abstract: The S&P was down 10.1 percent last year. The MSCI EAFE Index was down 15.2 percent and the NASDAQ was down, too--by 39.4 percent for the year! So far this year, the S&P has lost 11.3 percent, the MSCI EAFE is down 18.2 percent, and the NASDAQ is down 20.8 percent. Is it any wonder that managing investment risk has reasserted itself as an integral part of the investment process?
