Annova Market Risk Indicators
What is the capital market risk?
Capital markets such as the stock, bond, foreign currency, and derivatives markets are considered risky because of the constantly changing prices of the securities that are traded. Security prices are volatile, not only influenced by their financial fundamentals, but also by broader market influences such as economic events, political developments, currency movements, or even “black-swan” unexpected events such as natural disasters, or general market panic. The risk of financial loss associated with either choosing to or being forced to sell a security when prices have declined is what is meant by capital market risk.
-
Market risk, or systematic risk, affects the performance of the entire market simultaneously;
-
Because it affects the whole market, it is difficult to hedge as diversification may not help;
-
Market risk may involve changes to interest rates, exchange rates, geopolitical events, or recessions.
How does Annova utilize Market Risk Indicators to mitigate risks?
While debatable, some consider price volatility to be a proxy for risk.
Annova Market Risk Indicators (AMRIs) are quantitative in nature and seek to interpret capital market index data in an attempt to measure the pricing decline potentials, therefore, gauge the market risks. Annova Market Risk Indicators are comprised of formulas and ratios of major indices. The mid-term Market Risk Tolerance Indicators are used to aid mid-term asset allocation decisions, such as dynamic portfolio rebalancing. The short-term Risk Tolerance Indicators can assist trading activities prescheduled toward reaching the longer-term objectives.
Professional portfolio managers can choose to implement the four types of risk-mitigating strategies including risk avoidance (exit the market), acceptance (stay in the market), transference (apply derivatives), and limitation (set limits) by referencing the outputs from AMRIs in response to the market condition changes.
