The Portfolio Process: Quite simply, the wisdom of diversification is being espoused by money managers and financial planners alike. Investors today, particularly in this difficult stock market environment have become very receptive to investments that can be non-correlated to stocks and that can potentially diversify an investor’s portfolio and increase overall performance.
Given the current economic environment, such as it is, we here at Halcyon Offshore Asset Management believe the stock market will be hard pressed to provide investors with respectable results for some time to come. We believe investors should consider seeking diversification through professionally managed futures and options.
