In Risk Disparity , which appeared in the Fall 2013 issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management , Mark Kritzman , President and CEO of Windham Capital Management , explores alternative approaches.In this Practical Applications report,Kritzman suggests a more flexible investment policy. One that does not adhere to fixed asset weights but instead opportunistically changes exposure to assets.The article is a winner of the 15th Annual Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Awards (Outstanding Article).
