Investing for Retirement III: Understanding and Dealing with Sequence Risk

Sequence of return risk is entirely ignored in much of academic finance. But it is a meaningful risk for the vast majority of investment portfolios and there are useful tools that can mitigate its effects.

We believe a portfolio construction framework that takes into account the lifespan of the portfolio and its expected cashflows can account for sequence of return risk better than any standard single-period optimization. And by dynamically reallocating portfolios, portfolio managers can substantially further improve outcomes for their clients.

Your Own Worst Enemy I - Framing and Nudges

We know from a behavioral perspective that the framing of questions can radically alter the answers given and that it is incredibly hard to remove people’ biases. In this paper, we explore how framing, nudges and re-biasing can influence answers to questions, and how at the philosophical heart of Nebo is a focus on the importance of asking the right questions.

In this paper we examine how evolution has shaped different behavioral biases and how we can turn them to our advantage.
