Risk management for individuals and other asset owners differs from that of financial institutions and, in fact, is more complex. A fresh mindset and new tools are required for these market participants. The authors propose measuring material risk through agent-based models (ABMs), which are designed to react to the current market environment, project forward risk and employ scenarios that incorporate market dynamics. ABMs can embrace both an individual's unique heuristics and the market's movements and changing relationships, thereby providing a framework well suited to a long-term investor's decisions and goals.
