FYI: Stocks are off to a poor start this year. What began as a normal sell-off has spiraled into a deeper correction. Bears are nipping at bulls’ heels. So what should mutual fund investors do?
Choices for the average long-term fund investor include staying put, moving money to fixed-income securities or moving to cash. For seasoned investors willing to take more risks or looking to hedge their positions, bear market funds could be useful. These funds invest in short positions and derivatives designed to make money when the market falls.
