Step 8: How will you manage risk?

In Module 8, we examine the three main ways of managing financial risk and ways to avoid going below your minimum goals using:

. Insurance; diversification and/or dynamic hedging.

Insurance expert, Mr Aaron Zelman, takes us through the types of insurance available and answers questions. We also examine:

. The different insurance channels for obtaining insurance: group insurance through super funds, insurance brokers, direct to insurance companies

. The role of brokers and other insurance providers, and their incentives

. How leveraging a portfolio can help to hedge risk

. The risks and rewards of borrowing to invest.

In Step 8, participants are asked to identify the 3 main areas of risk they face, and then review whether they have the right amount of insurance to offset the risk, and whether they need to use diversification and/or hedging of non-diversifiable risk to offset more risk.
