The Case for Active Strategies for Income & Risk Management

Investors and advisors are increasingly seeking options to address two key portfolio challenges:

 

  • Managing downside risk and
  • Generating income regardless of Fed policy.

 

Options can help investors mitigate market risk and protect against losses. The options-trading category is dominated by passive strategies that often cannot adapt to changing market conditions or unduly cap upside potential over time. See how actively managed options strategies are well-suited to benefit investors through both downward and upward-trending markets.

 

Derivative income strategies can also be a powerful tool for investors seeking income across interest rate regimes. However, the majority of these strategies are powered by passively managed covered calls, which cap upside participation and may ultimately leave investors underwhelmed. Explore how an active approach to derivative income may be better positioned to mitigate both right trail and left tail risks.

 

Join the options experts at Swan Global Investments and explore how active strategies can help investors mitigate risk, generate income, and capture return in bull and bear markets alike.

Even as the aftereffects of the pandemic and surging inflation have subsided, there’s no shortage of potential headwinds that your clients may be worried about. For starters, might any reversal of inflation trends upend the outlook for interest-rate cuts and the broader economy in a presidential election year?

One way to help clients invest through times like this is to remind them that history shows market patterns often repeat themselves, even as circumstances constantly change. That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for a “History lessons” webinar that offers answers to many of the pressing questions that your clients may be asking now:

  • What does the history of market returns tell us?
  • Is diversification dead?
  • Is there a wrong time or right time to invest?
  • What do inflation and the rate outlook mean for my life and my portfolio?
  • How might the election in November influence the market outlook? 

This webinar is one example of the practice management resources that we offer to help support your success through our Practice Management Network. This value-add program provides resources designed to help you meet your clients’ evolving needs while taking your business to the next level.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of a loss.

Ethereum is the second largest crypto asset behind Bitcoin, but beneath the surface, it’s shockingly different. The Ethereum blockchain functions like an “app store” for crypto, hosting thousands of applications with millions of daily active users. And unlike many other crypto assets, Ethereum produces revenues in the billions of dollars each year, which makes it an interesting asset to value. This combination of factors is capturing the attention of Wall Street.

In this webinar, Bitwise Senior Research Analysts Ryan Rasmussen and Juan Leon will dive into the key topics financial advisors need to know about Ethereum, one of the world’s most compelling crypto assets.

Topics include: 

  • What is Ethereum? 
  • Five Ethereum-based applications that could change the world. 
  • How to value Ethereum. 
  • Building a crypto investment sleeve with Ethereum.

 

This event is intended for financial professionals only.
