The tails have less weight, large returns (or losses) are less likely.
The Value at Risk (VAR) is 14.4% using a 99% confidence level.
There is a substantial probability of losing 10% or more in a month.
This cumulative probability is 3%, meaning that in a repeated sample with 100 months, we should expect to lose 10% or more for a total of 3 months.
If this risk to is too large for the investor, some money should be allocated to cash. Of course, this comes at the expense of lower expected returns.
