The rules of investing have changed. Spiking volatility, surging inflation, and skyrocketing rates require smart risk management now more than ever. But how can you protect and grow your portfolio in this unpredictable market? In this episode, several respected financial advisors and investment managers reveal their hard-earned rules for managing risk today:

• Position sizing is everything - Maximize gains by dynamically sizing into trades within defined risk ranges. Utilize bigger sizes when conditions are optimal.
• Cash is a weapon - Allocate more funds to cash during uncertain times to mitigate potential drawdowns and capitalize on the next opportunity.
• Watch debt like a hawk - Rising rates and high leverage pose major threats to the bond market and credit-sensitive sectors. Monitor credit risks early to prepare for potential turbulence.
• Gold thrives in quad 3 -Low real rates and systemic risks make gold an effective inflation hedge and portfolio diversifier, especially in periods of slowing growth and high inflation.
• Manage adaptively - Respond quickly to changing conditions, prepare for market surprises, and don’t ignore shorter-term opportunities for the sake of longer-term forecasts. Flexibility is key right now.

These active risk management techniques could make the difference between average returns and exceptional gains in 2023 and beyond. Tune in to hear straight talk from seasoned investors on how to navigate today’s treacherous markets and come out on top.
