Risk Management

Risk Management in its simplest form is reviewing your overall financial strategy for road bumps, potholes and other nasty events that could not only delay but also destroy your financial future, then minimizing the impact from any potential event.

At Cabot, we utilize loss guidelines, cash management and other techniques in the attempt to mitigate risk in our clients’ portfolios during volatile markets.

Risk Management and Diversification

In general, there are several kinds of investment risk, including stock-specific and market risks. These, and other forms of risk, can often be reduced through diversification.

Unfortunately, many people think diversification means owning a bunch of different stocks. If, however, the stocks are all large-cap growth or all value, you are subjecting yourself to even greater risk.

Instead, risk management diversification is obtained by owning multiple-asset classes of domestic and international equities, fixed-income investments, cash, and alternative asset classes.

It is not easy creating wealth today, and it would be a mistake to let a careless investment management strategy that does not address risk put your hard-earned assets at risk. Creating a thorough and appropriate risk management strategy is one of the most valuable things you can do for yourself or your family.
