There are, however, certain steps one can take at least to minimise the risk of control fraud and the related risk of catastrophic capital loss. One is obviously to develop an acute judgment of other people’s character. One is not to invest in banks. One is to allow oneself to be naturally drawn to superior allocators of capital, running shareholder-friendly businesses in which they already have a meaningful equity stake. And one is to diversify anyway, because you simply never know.
