How to Understand Why Active Investing Matters

Stock Markets Panic Newspaper

Most investors can’t afford a major portfolio loss. 

Active management can provide protection in volatile markets. Regular buy & hold strategies are often highly correlated with the market and with each other. Alternatively, active strategies can provide extra downside protection and useful diversification. 

Consider this: 

-In 2008, the S&P 500 was down 37%, whereas certain active managers were up 17% to 2%, even after fees. 

-To recover from it’s maximum drawdown of 50.95%, the S&P 500 took 37 months. A simple 60/40 stock and bond portfolio in an IRA, Roth or 401(k) plan took even longer. And that’s IF someone didn’t make any changes.

-To recover from a loss, you need more returns to be made whole: 

*A 10% loss requires a 11% return 

*A 30% loss requires a 42.86% return

*A 50% loss requires a 100% return 

Active investing strategies help you dodge these types of losses, so you can protect your assets and grow your wealth faster.
