These tips today could help you as an investor or manager…
1. Concentration Risk
For example, let’s say you have shares in Amazon stock, the S&P 500, and a Technology ETF…
You will have exposure to Amazon not only through its stock, but also “look through exposure” in the S&P and your ETF, therefore, raising your concentration risk.
Let’s take real estate, for example, it’s all about location!
The geographic risk in real estate means that you don’t put all your investments into Texas, or any one location; you diversify. Also, look to invest in different types of real estate.
Additionally, don’t forget to diversify your private equity and venture funds. That also means looking for multiple, non-related investors instead of banking on one or two individuals.
2. Management Risk
Pick a good manager! But what makes a good manager?
- Good experience
- Having a team of managers, not just one individual
Diversify your team
- How long have the partners been together?
- Do they know each other?
- Are there any conflicts of interest?
- Are they operating other businesses?

3. Operational Risk
Merging managers, do you know how to run a business?
Like Lincoln said in his video…
“People forget that all the time; managing a fund is like running a business.”

There are plenty of other risks (like political, asset, strategy risks to name a few).
But don’t forget the big 3!
Resources like SEC and ILPA can help you find good questions to ask your managers!
Hopefully, this was helpful, have a wonderful day!
