How To Manage Your Portfolio During Turbulent Times
About This Episode
“A portfolio is like a bar of soap. The more you handle it, the smaller it gets.” – Darcy Howe
Markets around the world are turbulent at the moment as inflation and geopolitical conflicts have many investors on edge.
It’s human nature to want to take action in the face of instability.
So what can you do to secure your future? Should you change your portfolio strategy? Are there new opportunities to take advantage of? Is it better to stay the course?
In this episode, Marcelo and Keith talk about how to manage money during turbulent times. We explore the research around the performance of tactical asset allocation strategies, why these “opportunity funds” are appealing to many investors, how balanced funds perform compared to tactical allocation, key strategies you can use to weather the storm of volatile markets, and so much more!
