Risks and Responsibilities

How to manage risk on the stock exchange?

In practice, the concept of risk management when trading on financial market exchanges is based on one of two philosophically different principles:

• For long-term portfolio investment - on the diversification (distribution) of the portfolio. Already with 15-20 issuers (from various sectors of the economy), the risks associated with a particular issuer are greatly reduced. However, the risk of a fall in the market as a whole remains.
