How We Manage Investment Portfolios
Your investment portfolio represents a lifetime of effort and savings. That is why it is more important than ever to not only be able to grow your wealth, but to also protect it.
It’s this latter ingredient that is often missing in conventional investment approaches that resulted in large losses for investors in the bear markets of 2008 and 2000-2002.
Parabolic Asset Management is led by Rainier Trinidad, CFA, who distinguished himself from his peers by profitably steering his hedge fund clients through the 2008 Financial Crisis (for perspective on how difficult it was to achieve this, in 2008, of the 2,800 mutual funds that Morningstar tracked, only 1 made money).
Rainier’s 17 year career spans three bull markets and two bear markets, and his unique experience and approach has proven invaluable to clients who have sought a balance between pursuing attractive investment returns and increased safety during volatile market environments. This is achieved by using a smart approach to asset allocation and complementing it with risk-reducing and income-enhancing option strategies.
Our firm’s approach is based on evidence going back over a century that helps investors participate in broad advances in the market while protecting them during the inevitable downturns.
To demonstrate how such an approach has fared in the past, the following are simulated results of $10,000 invested in our Relative Risk Model, from January 1994 to September 30, 2015. The model allocates between stocks and bonds, depending on the changing risks of each asset class:
Relative Risk Model returns from 1/1994 to 9/30/2015 |
The model succeeds because it actively participates only in markets that have favorable risk profiles and does not hesitate to take protective measures to ensure the preservation of capital. If you’ve ever known of anyone who made tremendous profits in the stock market only to lose it all again, you witnessed an investor who grew their wealth but didn’t have a process to protect those gains. This model achieves the objective of growing and protecting wealth by adding a prudent defensive strategy to the investment process..
One of the greatest dangers to an investment plan is not sticking with it and letting your emotions dictate your decisions. We control for behaviorial finance factors that harm investor returns (like buying high and selling low), and having prudent risk management strategies in place increases both peace of mind and the likelihood of you staying on course to help you reach your financial goals.
