Tom, RE: The at-risk portion of a portfolio can be hedged with the more conservative portion (by buying options for instance) in exchange for lower returns on the conservative part in such a way that there is near zero-risk. The upside is the at-risk portion may do great. The downside is that it generates lower returns than if it didn't need to hedge anything. But it's still better than T-Bills. Sorry, but if you hedge an equity portfolio so that there is 'near zero risk', your return cannot do much better than T-Bills, and given the transaction costs of such an undertaking, could do worse.
