Investors today face no shortage of challenges, with the signs increasingly suggesting a late-cycle environment. To help navigate these uncertainties, we’ve put together a collection of actionable ideas on how to proactively respond to the market’s most pressing issues.

There’s no shortages of challenges in today’s markets, but that doesn’t mean you need to sit on the sidelines. Below we highlight three investment themes worth considering and some strategies you can use to incorporate them into a diversified portfolio.
With mounting uncertainty in the stock market, consider rotating into offerings that focus on quality in those segments that may be experiencing heightened volatility. Why quality? History's shown that companies with more durable earnings are better equipped to weather an economic downturn.
Pivoting to emphasize high-quality fixed-income positions during this phase may prove prudent. We believe mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade corporates, and diversified tax-exempt offerings are particularly attractive in today's market. With compelling yields across the bond market, now may not be the time to be overexposed to risky assets.
Consider increasing exposure to investments that pursue alternative approaches and offer low correlations to stocks and bonds. There are a number of ways to reduce overall volatility through an allocation to alternatives, and a lower risk profile in turbulent markets is typically a prudent move.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of a loss. Correlation is a statistical measure that describes how investments move in relation to each other, which ranges from –1.0 to 1.0. The closer the number is to 1.0 or –1.0, the more closely the two investments are related.
