Who else wants to save their nest egg?

With investment markets at all-time highs. Do you really know the risks you are taking?

Exceptional share market growth and the rise in the value of risky investments has led to increased risk in portfolios.

Nest eggs are now at risk of blowing up and destroying retirement dreams.

How are you prepared for the below:

· A 10% loss will require a 11% gain to recover.
· A 25% loss will require a 25% gain to recover.
· A 30% loss will require a 43% gain to recover.
· A 47% loss will require a 67% gain to recover.
· A 50% loss will require a 100% gain to recover.

While one and two are achievable and reasonable, the remaining three could be fatal to your retirement dreams.

The true secret to investing success is avoiding large losses.

Easier said than done.

Sure, you can re-balance and this is the advice provided by most advisers and experts. Sell your winners and allocate those funds to more conservative parts of your portfolio.

While it will address part of the problem, it’s fundamentally flawed.

Why be forced to sell what’s doing well to then invest in what’s done poorly?

It’s widely considered portfolio management 101. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Diversification is having investments that behave differently from each other. It’s good to not have all your investments going up at the same time.

Many investment portfolios are stuck in the dark ages with fixed asset allocations.

You’re forced to hold investments that may struggle to generate adequate returns for the risk taken all because you’re following these fixed allocations.

Would you reallocate assets in a business to a poor performing arm? I think not, you’d focus on your most profitable products.

You’re told to be patient, wait it out, but when you experience large losses, it hurts.

Even more so when you’re near retirement or newly retired.

After the experiences of the Global Financial Crisis and other market shocks, we needed to find a better way of investing for pre-retirees and retirees.

We decided we needed a solution where we were not limited to specific investments or pre-determined investment allocations unlike the majority of the industry.

So now, we use an approach, where instead of sitting on our hands and hoping for the best, our portfolios respond pro-actively to changing market and economic conditions by modifying asset allocations accordingly.

The goal, to move out of the way of market bubbles, minimise clients risk while taking advantage of opportunities to increase client’s returns when prudent to do so.

This approach offers the freedom to invest in the most favorable investment opportunities while maintaining appropriate risk levels set by our clients.

It’s part of our Retire Ready Framework.
