Positioning Your Investments For A Possible Stock Market Double Dip?
In our line of business we are exposed to many views on the economy and markets and often these views can conflict with each other.
Robin Griffths is a well respected investment strategist with Cazenove Capital and he is predicting a sizeable ‘double dip’ in the stock market. Listen to his views:
The problem is that for every view we hear that takes the Robin Griffiths stance, we hear another analyst or economist stating the opposite!
So how do you position your investments to protect against a possible double dip in the stock market whilst giving potential to participate in the market if it does continue to the upward side?
The answer is to ensure that your money is diversified between numerous, non-correlated asset classes and to be certain that any retained equity exposure is in the right sectors, right type of company and right geographical area.
At watermark, we are experts in managing client money through our ‘Discretionary Managed Portfolio Service’ (DMPS) and the real mark of how well your investment adviser performs, is not how much you make when markets are all rising (that is the easy bit), but when we face uncertain and challenging markets.
Having the discretionary investment authority to make and execute decisions on our clients’ investments and pension funds means that we can swiftly adjust our client portfolios when economic or market conditions change, which can sometimes happen over night.
The value of investments is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
