The Risk Parity Book frames an investment philosophy that recognizes that asset class returns are largely driven by the economic environment, which is relatively difficult to accurately predict. As Shahidi explains, a balanced mix of asset classes that are biased to perform well in different economic environments should be owned in uncertain times. Additionally, each asset class can be structured to deliver an equity-like return over the long run. Putting it all together, the portfolio can achieve better than equity returns with much less risk over the long run. Finally, this approach can be implemented within a low cost, tax-efficient, passively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that is available to all investors. Shahidi's timely book shares a framework for investing is timely, given the wide range of potential economic outcomes in stormy markets and the fact that the vast majority of portfolios are poorly balanced. Most investors should rethink their approach to investing during uncertain economic conditions and extreme market environments.
