Jiji and Weiji: The Philosophy of Risk Management in Investment

Jiji and Weiji: The Philosophy of Risk Management in Investment

Jiji and Weiji are the last two hexagrams in the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching, representing completion and incompletion respectively.

The hexagram Jiji depicts water over fire, symbolizing that a task has been accomplished. However, the lines of Jiji are filled with warnings.

In investing, Jiji reminds us: even if the current investment portfolio is performing well, we must not let our guard down.

The hexagram Weiji depicts fire over water, symbolizing that a task is not yet complete. Weiji tells us: the development of things never ends.

For investors, the wisdom of Weiji lies in: not pursuing the perfect investment timing, because the market is always changing. Accept uncertainty and seek opportunities amidst imperfection.
