Stock gains tend to be relatively steady, accumulating over time. Stock declines, however, can be devastating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While rushing to exit the\nstock market can <em>feel<\/em> like the\nlogical thing to do when stocks collapse and other investors run for the hills,\nseasoned investors understand that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/investing-mistakes-to-avoid-as-coronavirus-fears-spreads\/\">market ups and downs are to be expected<\/a>, and have a plan in place should markets continue to\nslide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little planning today can\nstrengthen your portfolio and make it more resilient for a possible bear market\nor recession. Here\u2019s how to play defense with your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fine-tune your portfolio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the recent wild market swings have you wide awake at\nnight, it is time to reassess whether your asset allocation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/singapore-investors-is-your-investment-portfolio-exposure-at-the-right-risk-level\/\">matches your tolerance for risk<\/a>. By taking on more risk than you can stomach, you might\npanic and sell at the wrong time, or worse, abandon your investing strategy\naltogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the spectacular stock market gains of 2019, being\nbullish on stocks may have felt like the right choice. But given current\nconditions, the higher allocation to stocks could be out of line with your risk\ntolerance, potentially exposing you to more losses than you\u2019re prepared to take\nshould markets tumble further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to arrive at a portfolio mix that matches your\nrisk tolerance and financial needs is to use a tool like Syfe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/basic-risk-analyser\/intro\">risk\nquestionnaire<\/a>. It tells\nyou your risk profile and suggests the ideal asset allocation that makes sense\nfor your risk appetite.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t throw out all your\nstocks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When markets are down, it may be tempting to liquidate all\nyour stocks. Resist the urge. Doing so will only lock in your losses and\nprevent you from reaping gains once the market recovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the chart below shows, an investor who had invested\n$100,000 on 1 January 2009 \u2013 in the midst of the global financial crisis \u2013 but\nmissed just a month of trading (or the top 30 trading days), would have had\nUS$74,453 less by the end of the year compared to if he had stayed invested for\nthe whole year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"518\" data-attachment-id=\"1563\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/how-to-protect-your-portfolio-when-markets-fall\/market-trading-days-schwab-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab.png\" data-orig-size=\"2742,1388\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"market-trading-days-schwab\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-300x152.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-1024x518.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-1024x518.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-1536x778.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-2048x1037.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-696x352.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-1068x541.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-830x420.png 830w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/market-trading-days-schwab-1920x972.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Source: Schwab Center for Financial Research with data from Morningstar.

That\u2019s because\nyou want to be in a position to take advantage of the eventual recovery that\nhappens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rebalance and redeploy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How much to maintain in stocks depends on your risk\nprofile. If your risk tolerance is high, and you have several more decades to\ngo before you retire, you can be more heavily weighted in stocks. Though stock\nmarket returns can vary greatly year to year, over the long term, returns tend\nto be positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re closer to\nretirement, consider moving any money you\u2019ll need for living expenses in the\nnext five years or so into cash or short-term bonds, which tend to be more\nliquid and carry less risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure your portfolio risk level is aligned to your\nrisk tolerance, one way is to trim your stock exposure through rebalancing.\nThere are several ways to rebalance &#8211; at particular points in time, or using\nportfolio risk as a gauge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latter is what Syfe terms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/what-risk-based-rebalancing-brings-to-the-table\/\">risk-based rebalancing<\/a>. Simply put, a rebalancing is triggered when the risk within a portfolio either exceeds or falls below an investor\u2019s desired risk level. When portfolio risk increases beyond an investor\u2019s risk threshold, higher risk stock allocations are reduced while bond allocations increase. This <a href=\"https:\/\/newacademyoffinance.com\/syfe-guide-ari\/\">mitigates losses<\/a> and keeps investor panic at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diversify to safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the actions investors can take to protect their\nportfolios, diversification remains key. A diversified portfolio should\ncomprise stocks, bonds and other assets like real estate and commodities. When\nmarkets fall, a diversified portfolio helps stem your losses &#8211; when some assets\ndrop, you have others that provide stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While investing in single stocks can be risky, a single\nexchange traded fund (ETF) can be completely diversified. ETFs offer affordable\nand convenient diversification because just one fund can give you broad\nexposure to a large variety of stocks and bonds. Here\u2019s more on how you can invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/sample-portfolio\">low-cost, globally diversified ETF\nportfolio<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shore up your defense<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) with\nresilient cash flows and high dividend yields are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/4-reasons-to-diversify-your-portfolio-with-s-reits\/\">good defensive picks<\/a> for the current market. With yields on the 10-year US\nTreasury bond falling below 1%, investors seeking income will find the stable\ndividends and high yields offered by REITs attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, this period of market volatility could create opportunities to buy quality REITs at inexpensive valuations. One option to consider is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/reit-plus\">Syfe REIT+ portfolio<\/a>. It contains 20 quality REITs that track the SGX S-REIT Leaders Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay the course<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Down markets and\nrecessions are an inevitable fact of the economy. But even the most severe\nmarket slumps will pass. Don&#8217;t let the bearish stock market headlines scare you\ninto making drastic moves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, stick to your investment plan and take this time to make your portfolio more resilient.
