Volatile financial markets

When unforeseen geopolitical or macroeconomic events happen, market volatility occurs, driven by the uncertainty.

And while it is recognised as normal in markets, the big swings can sometimes be uncomfortable to observe. However, many want or need a smoother income or returns from their investments.

The right downside protection strategies can help protect investors against significant losses in times of ‘tail risk’ events, improving the long-term performance for even well-diversified investors seeking to capture premia from risky assets.

The good news is that investors can still generate alpha in this environment as increasingly divergent policy responses create winners and losers. In uncertain times find out what our experts consider important when market volatility increases.
