“The best investors do not target return; they focus first on risk…”

~Seth Klarman

How do the best investors decide when and where to invest today based upon headlines that swing so quickly between despair and euphoria? 

Well, they actually don’t decide.

The best investors hire fund managers so they can enjoy their lives!

They have learned that predicting the stock market is futile.

They know what is truly needed is professional risk management. 

Where can they find this information?

See this performance chart that includes the yearly declines in the S&P500.

While stock markets have historically tended to go up over the long-term, no one can predict the performance of markets over any time period. 

  • You never know when markets might fall.
  • You never know how much markets might fall. 
  • You never know howlong markets might fall.

Those who hire fund managers are actually in the best position to participate in market upside since they have initiated a plan to manage the downside risks.
