What kind of risk taker are you? The answer may reveal more than you think.

In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua takes a closer look at risk and its role in the financial markets. Kokou explores traditional risk management models such as the Value at Risk, volatility and heteroskedasticity (volatility of volatility) and explores the interplay between Main Street and Wall Street.

Later, Kokou sits down with Hatem Mustapha, Co-Head of Global Markets, to discuss the ins and outs of managing risk. They examine different risk management models, their pros and cons, and the importance of framing the tail risk, the blind spots investors have in managing risk and the world of 'unknown unknowns'.
