Manage your risk during the US Election
It’s important to check that your account is sufficiently capitalised, as well as making sure you are comfortable with your levels of exposure. Risk management strategies can protect your investments and minimise potential losses during increased market volatility.
Diversify your portfolio
A diverse portfolio involves a number of assets from a group of markets that do not share a strong correlation.
Ensure that you have exposures that reduce your overall portfolio risk, which will smooth out your PnL over high risk events such as the 2024 US Election.
Placing Stop-Loss orders
A Stop-Loss order is a market order that helps manage risk by closing your position once the asset reaches a certain price.
Historically, financial markets can experience rapid fluctuation and high volatility during the US Election. This strategy helps manage trading risk by specifying a price at which your position is closed out.
