Buy and Hold Getting Old?

I oppose the buy-and-hold philosophy because it leaves investors holding the bag during the worst of times. As money managers, we owe it to our constituents to invest their capital in a responsible way. Yet the majority of institutional money managers adopt an incomplete investment plan that largely ignores any discussion of risk management. Without a plan for protecting assets during times of uncertainty, the cost of being wrong can ruin the retirement plans and financial well-being of tens of millions of people.

Alternative investment products involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail futures and options trading, which involves substantial risk of loss. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
