Du Charme Wealth Management Podcast
You can't eliminate risk, only decide which ones to take
Risk functions like energy—it cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another, which means you're always choosing which risks to take rather than eliminating risk entirely.
• Risk does not equal return—it equals the possibility of more return
• Standard deviation and volatility metrics capture only one dimension of risk
• "Safe" investments like bonds or savings accounts still carry significant inflation and currency risks
• The 2022 market demonstrated how bonds and stocks can fall simultaneously when traditional risk relationships break down
• Warren Buffett manages risk through valuation and cash flow focus, not by avoiding risk altogether
• Financial planning is the most effective way to identify and manage different types of risk
• The worst kind of risk is the risk you don't know you have
• Wealth management requires ongoing monitoring since life circumstances and market conditions constantly change
