Why You Should Be A Professional In The Stock Market
Asset Growth & Inflation Hedge
Historically, the stock market has generated a positive return over the long term, which is often higher than inflation. This is because companies can adjust their prices to compensate for rising costs. This offers investors the opportunity to increase their invested capital over time.
Protection Against Falling Stock Markets
The capital markets are in a constant state of flux. Ongoing globalization, tense geopolitics and faster technological advances are making the capital markets more complex and difficult to penetrate. It is therefore important for investors to protect themselves against periods of temporary weakness in order to enable long-term wealth accumulation.
Diversification & Flexibility Of Capital
The stock market offers a variety of investment opportunities that allow investors to diversify their portfolio. By investing in different sectors, regions and asset classes, investors can spread their risk and reduce potential losses. Stock market investments are also much more liquid and therefore more flexible than real estate and private equity.
Why This Program Pays Off For You
As part of this professional investor education, we will show you how to identify quality companies at an early stage and how to protect yourself from broad market downturns in order to generate solid returns in all market conditions. Take your investments to a new level to achieve even better returns.
Case Study 1: Big Tech Boom in 2022/2023
Experienced investors, especially many well-known hedge fund investors, were quick to jump on the "big tech boom" in 2022/2023. In light of the fear of recession at the time, these tech companies stood out with an extremely robust business model, high margins and operational growth prospects. At the same time, these companies were still moderately valued compared to other large caps on the stock market. In the following quarters, the share prices of these 7 big tech companies grew almost three times as fast as the remaining 493 companies in the S&P 500 - a clear outperformance compared to the market as a whole.
Cast Study 2: Stock Crash & Recovery in 2020
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread uncertainty on the capital market. Many listed companies feared for their existence and canceled their outlooks. As a result, the S&P 500 slumped by more than a third. Quite a few professional hedge fund experts were quick to hedge their portfolios against this market downturn until the end of March 2020 and also benefited from the subsequent market recovery ("Never fight the Fed"). The result for these investors was not only the preservation of capital, but also a significant outperformance compared to the market as a whole.
