Beyond Traditional
Chad R. Larson
The Limitations of Traditional Investments
Traditional investments stocks, bonds, and cash have been the backbone of most investment portfolios for decades. They offer liquidity, are relatively easy to understand, and provide a clear path to wealth accumulation over time. However, in today's complex financial landscape, these traditional investments may not be enough to meet all investor needs. Market volatility, low interest rates, and high correlation among asset classes can expose investors to risks that can significantly impact their portfolios.
For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, global stock markets plunged, and the value of many portfolios dropped precipitously. Even bond markets, which are typically seen as safer investments, were not immune to the turmoil. This scenario highlighted a significant limitation of traditional investments: when markets crash, these assets often move together, leading to significant losses across a portfolio. Investors who were heavily weighted in stocks and bonds had little protection against the downturn, which underscored the need for diversification beyond these traditional assets.
