John Archbold: Are Put Options the New Bonds?

Recently John Archbold, CFA, Client Portfolio Manager here at Aptus, contributed to Josh Welsh’s article on InvestmentNews.com. “Arch” emphasized why financial advisors and investors should consider put options to mitigate volatility and capture growth: Put options are a valuable asset during downturns because they appreciate during market downturns. One of the biggest points we hope clients take away from our unique approach to portfolio construction is More Stocks, Less Bonds, Risk Neutral. John drives this point further, adding that “owning more equities (with hedges) is necessary to get the growth to outpace inflation”. Any questions or want to discuss further?
