1. Diversification:
One of the most effective ways to manage risk is to diversify your portfolio. By investing in a variety of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and cash, you can spread out your risk and potentially reduce the impact of market volatility on your portfolio.
2. Asset allocation:
Another way to manage risk is to allocate your assets according to your risk tolerance and investment goals. For example, if you have a low-risk tolerance, you may want to allocate more of your assets to safer investments, such as bonds and cash, and less to risky assets, such as stocks.
3. Dollar-cost averaging:
Dollar-cost averaging is a strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the price of the investment. This can help to smooth out the impact of market volatility on your portfolio, as you will be buying at a variety of price points.
4. Use stop-loss orders:
Stop-loss orders are a tool that investors can use to minimize losses in their portfolios. By setting a stop-loss order at a certain price point, investors can sell their investments if they fall below that price, thereby limiting their losses.
5. Review and rebalance regularly:
It is important to regularly review and assess your portfolio to ensure that it is still aligned with your investment goals and risk tolerance. If your portfolio becomes too risky, you may want to rebalance it by selling off some assets and buying others to return to your desired allocation.
6. Use risk-managed investment products:
There are a variety of investment products, such as target-date funds and managed portfolios, that use strategies to manage risk within the portfolio. These products can be a good option for investors who want professional management of their portfolio but do not want to manage the risk themselves.
