Your Portfolio Management Decision
 
Based on your ideal asset-allocation model, we will select an appropriate combination of investments for your portfolio. In selecting your investments, we combine an understanding of the "big picture" --- overall global economic and market trends --- with fundamental research of individual investment opportunities. Senior economists, portfolio strategists and research analysts from various parts of RBC Financial Group augment our insights in these key areas.

When making investment decisions, we are supported by a formidable array of resources:

Options Strategies Investing in a Directionless Market

Directionless markets tend to last about 1.5x as long as prior bull markets, where the S&P in the last 129 years has been in a bull market for 56 years and a directionless market for 73 years. We incorporate different options strategies into portfolio management, and the purpose is to increase potential investment returns and hedge the downside risks.

  • Covered Call Strategy
    • Tend to outperform in the directionless markets
    • Almost always increase risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio
    • Target 3-6 month range to take advantage of rapid time decay and target 5-10% upside and minimum 2-3% flat return​
  • Protective Puts (Portfolio Insurance)
    • Buy a downside protection when holding the underlying
    • Time to buy insurance is when you don't think you need it
