Fundamental Portfolio Firm Begins Offering Free Webinars
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) -- Charlotte, NC, May 18, 2009 -- Hedge and mutual fund Portfolio Optimization software company, Alpha Theory™, announces they will offer free webinars the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month at Noon EST starting May 15th, 2009. These webinars will last approximately 20 minutes with time afterwards to ask facilitator Cameron Hight, CFA, Alpha Theory™ Founder and CEO questions.
Based on a recent survey Alpha Theory™ conducted of the 8 Common Mistakes Money Managers Make, the webinars will focus on the 5 most prevalent mistakes and how to fix them. These common mistakes money managers make include:
Is your 5th largest position your 5th “Best Idea”? If not, is your portfolio losing potential alpha as a result?
Are you too focused on the thesis of your investment rather than the risk-reward? Are you guilty of “Confidence Bias”?
Do you have a large number of positions with little to no positive expected return? Is your portfolio a victim of “Position Overload”?
Do you let winners run? Is your portfolio suffering from the “Good Stock Paradox”?
Do you have investments with limited downside but also limited upside? Are they “Value Traps”?
“Our Mistakes Money Managers Make presentation has gained considerable traction over the past year and we are excited about introducing the concept in a public forum,” said Cameron Hight, President and CEO of Alpha Theory™. “A firm’s portfolio management process must be constantly refined to be effective. The Mistakes presentation is almost certain to point out at least one area for improvement for every fund.”
