What is your attitude to investment risk?

I embrace risk management and the recognised historical benefits of good diversification. I advocate that investors understand the opportunities that usually present themselves at certain times in an economic cycle. More recently, I have become an Angel Investor, on a personal basis, by investing in new female-founded or co-founded businesses that are bringing innovation and solutions to the many challenges our nation and world face. I manage the inherent risk in these angel investments by carrying out due diligence and only investing in those with some proven track record and/or demand.
