This is the second part of a two-part series on the tendency for conventional diversification to fail when your investment portfolio needs risk protection the most. Last quarter, I went into detail into why conventional diversification fails investment portfolios at the worst possible time. This quarter, I am going to introduce powerful risk management strategies that address the shortfalls of conventional diversification, offer protection from large investment losses, and drive the opportunity for higher long-term returns.
