932: Eliminating Risk While Growing Your Nest Egg with Larry Kriesmer and Bernard Surovsky

Measured Risk

Bernard, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer, discusses their unique strategy to mitigate risk while seeking to benefit from capital growth. Focusing on mitigating the downside risk, the 90/10 strategy applies 90% of the portfolio very safe, short maturity fixed income for maximum safety and applies 10% to higher risk positions.  Hence, only 10% is at risk, using Call Options to maximize potential return.  This is a very interesting approach to investing that is quite unique in the marketplace that most investors will find to be very interesting.
