What is Risk Mitigation?
Risk is an inherent aspect of investing – there’s no way to separate the uncertainty of making investment decisions from their potential to go astray and negatively affect your investment capital. Risk mitigation is about creating strategies that can potentially reduce your exposure to risk.
What Risk Factors Should I Consider When Retiring?
Retirement comes with a host of things to consider, the least of which is whether you should take up pickleball. For many seniors, making their money last is an overarching concern. There are a handful of risk factors that could jeopardize your retirement nest egg, including inflation, market volatility, how long you live, how much you spend, and the state of your health as you journey into your Golden Years.
Which Investment Type Typically Carries the Least Risk?
The tradeoff between investment risk and reward (or potential return) is one that every investor needs to decide individually. That balance will likely change depending on the investor’s goals, circumstances, and age. But many investors seek a balance between risk and reward by hedging their portfolio allocation according to their risk appetite. For example, the traditional 60/40 portfolio consists of sixty percent equities and forty percent fixed-income instruments, like bonds. The stocks typically offer a more significant opportunity for growth but carry the risk of loss. In contrast, the bonds provide a smaller potential value increase and often less volatility. In theory, the stocks offer growth over the long term, while the fixed income holdings provide a hedge to help manage exposure to periodic value drops.
How Can I Manage Inflation Risk?
Unless you’ve been stationed in Antarctica or the International Space Station these past 12 or so months, you’ve likely noticed huge increases in the cost of just about everything, from gasoline to groceries to goods and services.
What is Macroeconomic Risk?
We’ve said it before, and we’ve said it often: There is no such thing as risk-free investing. Certainly, there are varying degrees of risk when investing. But all investments carry risks including (but not limited to) capital, default, currency, inflation, and interest rate risks.
Does Real Estate Diversify a Portfolio?
Diversification is crucial to a balanced investment portfolio because it can help investors potentially reduce their exposure to unsystematic risk factors. These factors can include liquidity, financial and business risk, and investors can attempt to manage the impact these factors may have on their portfolios by diversifying their investment capital across a broad swath of industries, financial instruments, and alternative investment options.
Is Real Estate an Inflation Hedge?
Inflation can destroy the value of an asset that doesn’t increase as inflation increases. This is especially true in depreciating assets such as cars, bicycles, and boats. The asset needs to have some underlying feature that allows it to increase when inflation increases. When that happens, the asset acts like a hedge, offsetting the value-decreasing effects of inflation.
How Do I Build a Diversified Real Estate Portfolio?
Building a diversified real estate portfolio follows many of the same principles required to build a diversified stock portfolio. Pursuing low correlations across assets and choosing from different assets are all meant to help manage the portfolio’s overall risk — a goal of diversification.
What Is Interest Rate Risk?
Interest rate risk is the risk that an investment’s value will change as interest rates change. This is of heightened concern during periods of interest rate hikes but is also vital to watch when the Fed is lowering rates.
