Worried About a Stock Market Crash? Here's the 3-ETF Portfolio I'd Buy Today
Protecting yourself from a bear market isn't about just shifting your portfolio into cash.
Overview
The S&P 500 is hovering near record highs, and valuations by some measures are historically high. Investors have several reasons-high inflation, high interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, a mixed labor market-to be concerned about whether the next major market decline is nearing. It will arrive eventually. The problem is that nobody knows when.
The solution isn't to radically alter your portfolio, move into cash, and wait it out until you feel more comfortable. That generally does more harm than good.
Details
What you can do is tilt your portfolio toward a more defensive stance while maintaining the potential to continue capturing upside if prices keep rising. If I were particularly worried about a stock market crash today, here are three ETFs I'd use together.
