Strategically Diversify to Reduce Portfolio Risk
INVESTORS need to reduce the risk of losing significant value
during volatile market periods.
Investors may achieve greater long term performance with less risk by reducing the
negative impact of low performing investments during volatile and unstable market
environments.
FACT: During the 10-year period from 1999 - 2009, when stock market volatility increased the value of most
stocks decreased and portfolios utilizing a buy and hold or fixed allocation strategy
experienced significant losses.
Portfolio's employing a flexible or dynamic allocation strategy may have reduced
large losses during unstable market environments by strategically diversifying and
repositioning portfolio risk allocations to investments reacting more favorably.
