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 traded securities. Security prices are volatile, influenced by their financial fundamentals and 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 capital market risk means.

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 pricing decline potentials and, therefore, gauge market risks. They 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 market risk tolerance indicators can assist in prescheduled trading activities.

Professional portfolio managers can choose to implement four types of risk-mitigating strategies: risk avoidance (exiting the market), acceptance (staying in the market), transference (applying derivatives), and limitation (setting limits) by referencing the outputs from AMRIs in response to market condition changes.
