    Hi,

    The examiners report to this question says
    "A director will probably have only one principal employer and will, therefore, be motivated more by total risk".

    I understand that a director cannot diversify their portfolio like a shareholder can and are therefore exposed to the specific risks of the project more. But I am unsure what this sentence means.

    Hi

    I'm not sure there's much more to understand! :)

    I think you've explained the examines report quote pretty well in your next sentence, ie because a director probably has only one principal employer (ie cannot diversify like a shareholder) they take into account total risk (ie both systematic and specific).
