Protect Profits With Downside Protections

Sarasota Wealth Advisory acknowledges the fact that without some form of downside protection, it is highly improbable that an investor will remain emotionally disciplined. For this reason our investment accounts are with Retirement Wealth Advisors, a Registered Investment Advisor firm that uses proprietary portfolios called FormulaFolios.  Each of the portfolios is enabled with a built-in safeguard to protect against market downturns. This is known as AssetLock™.  One of the most valuable features of AssetLock™ is its ability to calculate your value every day in the market and to capture your High Water Mark Value (the highest value your account has ever reached). As your account value moves up, your AssetLock™ Value (the protected minimum account value) moves up with it. This AssetLock™ Value is the minimum value in the portfolio an investor can expect at any given time. This unique feature makes it possible to help protect profits. Each day AssetLock™ tracks your portfolio relative to your all-time high watermark value. Based on your unique risk profile, you’ll also be tracking your AssetLock™ Value. This value becomes the ‘exit button” for your portfolio, allowing you to invest with confidence and always know the limit your portfolio might decline before being fully removed from the markets. Since the AssetLock™ Value is updated each time your portfolio reaches a new all-time high, you’re also creating a new and higher AssetLock™ Value. By fostering the discipline needed to remain in the market, except at only the most dangerous moments, a client could capture market bull runs without suffering seemingly insurmountable financial setbacks, such as those seen in 2008.
