How To Reduce Portfolio Risk | New Harbor Financial

Common ways to protect your portfolio using option hedges

With so many recent interview guests on this channel expressing concern about the near-record levels of overvaluation AND narrow trading breadth in stocks, about slowing economic growth, a weakening consumer and rising recession odds, many of you viewers have been asking for an instructional video on how to protect your portfolios from market risk -- a process otherwise known as hedging.

Well, your ask is our command.

So in this video, the senior partners at New Harbor Financial, one of the financial advisory firms endorsed by Thoughtful Money, will walk us through the fundamentals of hedging using options.

John Llodra and Mike Preston, along with their team at New Harbor, employ these options hedging strategies on a daily basis to protect the half a billion in client capital their firm manages.

Please let me know if you value “how to” videos like this. If you do, I’ll be happy to create more on other investing topics of interest to the Thoughtful Money audience.
