Event Risk Defined.
I was asked in an e-mail today what I meant by "Event Risk" Here in a general sense is a reasonable definition.
1. The risk due to unforeseen events partaken by or associated with a company or within a market or its individual sectors. 2. The risk associated with a changing portfolio value due to large swings in market prices. Also referred to as "jump risk" or "fat-tails".
