Lyxor White Papers-Managing risk exposure using the risk parity approach

February 28, 2013--Abstract
The ongoing economic crisis has profoundly changed the industry of asset management by putting risk management at the heart of most investment processes.

This new risk-based investment style does not rely on return forecasts and is therefore assumed to be more robust. 2011 was marked by several great successes in transforming the practice of asset management with several large institutional investors moving their portfolios to minimum variance or ERC strategies. These portfolio constructions are special cases of a more general class of allocation models, known as the risk parity (or budgeting) approach.

February 27, 2013--Britain was stripped of its AAA-rated debt status for the first time ever on Friday night in a move that puts pressure on George Osborne, who had pledged to use his austerity measures to protect the rating.

The chancellor, who had 12 hours' notice of the decision by Moody's ratings agency, insisted he would stick to his course and had "redoubled" his resolve to tackle Britain's financial problems. However, the downgrading will have major political implications for the coalition.
