FAQ

How does TruNorth Advisors define ‘Market Volatility’?

We define market volatility as simply the ups and downs of price movements that happen within the market. Not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but something to take into account and plan accordingly for.

Is protecting against volatility the same thing as avoiding all risks?

Investing in a market of any kind will always carry a certain amount of risk, and this isn’t a bad thing. A bit of risk is a good thing; as long as it’s not too excessive. Your investments should embrace a certain, balanced amount of risk that is beneficial for your financial confidence and risk tolerance.

Analysis

Equity market volatility and long investing can be a difficult thing to start. Our first step at TruNorth Advisors is to get a complete look at your financial goals and risk tolerance. To grow your retirement fund, you need to be able to balance stability and risk correctly. By examining your assets, we’ll be able to create an estimate for the appropriate amount of risk for your financial confidence and start building a plan.

Diversification

Diversification is a strategy that allows your assets to be spread across multiple areas, reducing risk and increasing your business’s overall share. Diversification can act as a protective shield, which can reduce the impact of failure and help you access larger market potential.

Defensive Positioning

Defensive positioning is when a company is focused on keeping a stronghold of its position and brand perception within the market. This focus helps to create customer loyalty and consumer awareness which helps protect your investments through market downturns. Through the use of hedging, options, and other tools, this type of active management allows you to pivot and change in response to the market.

Regular Monitoring

One of the best strategies to use when investing in volatile markets is to consistently oversee market trends. By keeping a close eye on the ebbs and flows in the market, you can more easily make adjustments and strategy changes as needed. Periodically checking on your retirement savings in a volatile market can be a huge help in keeping ahead.
