Invest in a All Weather Fund
Conservative investors looking to invest in a mutual fund that is more consistent in performance regardless of the overall market trend should consider a All Weather Fund.
These funds have a lower overall Beta and as a result are a lower risk alternative to hedge funds or other high growth large cap funds. The “All Weather” analogy refers to the tendency for these funds to be consistent performers regardless of the market.
