The importance of portfolio stress testing to navigate liquidity challenge
Many investors don’t think about liquidity risk until something goes wrong. At Cambridge Associates, we know that careful planning is key to managing liquidity demands, which can emerge rapidly from inside and outside a portfolio.
Adam Barber, Senior Investment Director in our Private Client Practice, explains the importance of challenging the assumptions you may be making within your portfolio, and how to incorporate your unique circumstances into a portfolio stress test.
