About Chris
Christopher Rupe is a portfolio manager specializing in total return strategies with an intermediate term perspective. He utilizes a well researched investment thesis as central to his approach. Risk is not viewed as a collection of discrete factors to be managed separately (e.g. volatility risk) as traditional academic views hold. Rather, risk management itself is embodied in the development of the investment thesis. Similarly, portfolio diversification is employed in order to minimize portfolio return correlations rather than for the sake of guarding against a possible array of external shocks.
Besides economics and finance, his interests include history (particularly, ancient history), gardening, small motors, electronics. A list that continues to grow.
