Portfolio Protection

Portfolio protection refers to the use of derivatives to limit the downside risk of a collection of assets. Buying protective puts is the most common form of this strategy.

It is like an insurance policy against a market crash. It allows investors to stay invested while capping their potential loss.

This is essential for long-term wealth management and capital preservation.
