As personal backgrounds and experiences vary, emotions stemming from exposure to violence shape a manager's risk perception and investment strategies. We document significant variation in the risk exposure of managers who were raised in states with higher per capita violence rates than those who were not. Although managers exposed to violence tend to hold more stocks in their portfolios, take less idiosyncratic risk, hold portfolios with betas closer to 1, and have less concentrated portfolios, these managers' risk-adjusted performance is not statistically different than that of their counterparts who were not exposed to violence.
