Risk modelling your life - investment growth and recessions
Graeme Keith and I went on a quest to model our lives by applying state of the art risk management techniques. In the previous article we covered income and the associated risks, as well as basic living expenses and the risks associated with expenses growth. In today’s article we will talk about the risks associated with investments and the value appreciations and depreciation of assets. This is an important part of the life equation, since we assumed that not buying a property doesn’t mean we spend all the saved money on cognac and travel but instead it is reinvested into a diversified portfolio in the market. This of course comes with its own risks, recessions and various other scenarios leading to capital loss.
