Explanation:
A is correct. Evaluating the diversification of the fund's investment portfolio allows the Chief Risk Officer to determine whether the fund's assets are allocated in a manner consistent with its long-term investment horizon and expected risk profile. Unintended short-term volatility might be a result of concentration in certain assets, which evaluating diversification and risk allocation would highlight.
B is incorrect. The personal investment strategies of portfolio managers do not dictate the institutional portfolio's risk profile and are irrelevant to monitoring the fund's actual risk exposures.
C is incorrect. Relying solely on historic performance data is inadequate for comprehensive risk evaluation, as past performance does not guarantee future results and backward-looking metrics may fail to capture current or future risk exposures.
D is incorrect. Consulting with investors helps establish the initial risk tolerance and mandate, but the CRO's current objective is to monitor the portfolio's actual risk metrics against already established expectations.
