Universal Portfolio Risk Management Plan

Universal template Medium

Builds a measurable system of risks, limits, monitoring, and responses for an investor, with attention to liquidity, concentration, and behavior.

ID 291

Act as a risk educator. I invest in United States, with growth, income, or preservation goals, a horizon of years, and this portfolio: list. Identify market, inflation, currency, liquidity, concentration, leverage, sequence, behavioral, counterparty, and tax risks. Propose measurable limits, a monthly dashboard, and responses for a moderate correction, a bear market, and high inflation. State all assumptions clearly.

Position Sizing with Risk Budgets

Medium

Turns each position size into a measurable risk allocation so one exposure or correlated group does not dominate the portfolio.

ID 292

Act as a risk analyst. My portfolio is worth $10,000, I can tolerate a maximum drawdown of 20%, and I seek low, medium, or high volatility. Design a position-sizing method with risk budgets and limits by asset and correlated group. Include an example for ETF portfolio with different volatilities and explain the formulas, assumptions, and estimation limits.

Hidden Concentration Detector

Beginner

Groups holdings by shared risk factors to uncover false diversification and repeated exposures.

ID 293

Act as a diversification auditor. My holdings are list. Group them by common factors such as US technology, commodities, interest rates, currencies, duration, and liquidity. Propose three improvements using exposures available in United States, but show their costs, new risks, and why a historically low correlation may disappear.

Simple Risk-Contribution Allocation

Medium

Explains an accessible version of risk parity while warning that estimated volatility and correlation can be unstable.

ID 294

Act as a risk-allocation specialist. Help me allocate across equities, bonds, cash, gold or commodities, and alternatives to approximate balanced risk contributions. Use estimated volatility and correlations, show the calculation in a spreadsheet-ready format, and define weights and bands. Add adverse-correlation scenarios, leverage limits, and warnings about unstable inputs.

Stop Rules by Asset Class

Medium

Adapts stop rules to the liquidity, volatility, trading hours, and market structure of each asset class without treating a stop as a guaranteed price.

ID 295

Act as a risk engineer. I trade or invest in ETF portfolio over 15-minute data. Define when a stop is required, optional, or unsuitable; how to use market structure and volatility; how to account for gaps, liquidity, and fast markets; and how to size positions to keep risk controlled. Add rules for moving stops and making partial exits.

Portfolio Drawdown Limits

Medium

Defines portfolio drawdown levels and pre-agreed actions to prevent leverage spirals or impulsive selling.

ID 296

Act as a risk controller. Define three drawdown levels from the portfolio peak: X1%, X2%, and X3%. For each one, specify review, leverage or exposure reduction, pause, and criteria for restoring risk. Add prohibited actions and adapt the framework for a retail investor in United States.

Recovery Plan after a Major Loss

Medium

Structures a pause and evidence-based review after a significant loss to reduce revenge trading and impulsive strategy changes.

ID 297

Act as a trading psychology and risk specialist. After a drawdown of 20%, create a 14-day protocol covering a pause, data and rule review, reduced size, criteria for resuming, and prevention of the same failure. Separate emotional recovery from statistical validation and recommend qualified professional support if distress persists or affects daily functioning.

Designing an Options Hedge

Medium

Compares protective puts, collars, and put spreads by cost, protection, expiry, liquidity, tax treatment, and basis risk.

ID 298

Act as a portfolio-hedging specialist. I want to protect ETF portfolio in United States. Compare protective puts, collars, and put spreads by maximum loss, protection, cost, expiry, strike, liquidity, and tax treatment. Define an illustrative hedge ratio, annual budget, and entry, roll, and exit rules. Explain when reducing exposure may be simpler.

Hedging Portfolio Beta with Futures or Inverse Instruments

Medium

Calculates an approximate market-risk hedge and explains basis risk, leverage, tracking error, and implementation limits.

ID 299

Act as a hedging specialist. My portfolio is worth $10,000, resembles index, and has a beta of beta. Design an illustrative hedge using an available ETF portfolio. Show the calculation, assumptions, and rounding. Explain beta review, basis risk, leverage, costs, and entry and exit rules.

Tail-Risk Protection Plan

Pro

Compares ways to limit damage during liquidity crises and correlation spikes while making the ongoing cost of protection explicit.

ID 300

Act as a tail-risk analyst. For a portfolio in United States, describe rapid-selloff, liquidity-shortage, and correlation-spike scenarios. Compare two or three protections using options, diversifiers, and dynamic exposure reduction. Define the budget, annual cost, signals, limitations, and how to measure whether the protection works.

How to use AI prompts to audit portfolio risk

Portfolio risk is broader than volatility and should be traced from each holding to total exposure and possible action. Provide current positions and valuation dates so concentration and liquidity are not assessed from stale data.

Map asset, issuer, sector, country, currency, duration, factor, leverage, counterparty, custody, and hidden look-through exposures.
Stress drawdowns, correlations, rate and currency shocks, liquidity, margin calls, income disruption, and sequence-of-returns risk.
Define limits, warning thresholds, data owners, review frequency, and specific rebalance, hedge, reduce, or exit actions.
