[Ep 04] Minimizing Risk: Protecting Your Family’s Finances with Simple Steps

Risk Management – The Key Factor in Smart Investing

In the financial markets, anyone can face unexpected fluctuations. For women seeking stability and protection for their family’s finances, risk management is extremely important. While investing offers many great opportunities, it doesn’t always go smoothly. To ensure the safety of your family’s finances, you need an effective risk management strategy.

In this article, we’ll explore simple but essential steps to protect your finances from unexpected market fluctuations, helping you feel more confident in your investment journey.

Risk management in investing involves identifying and controlling factors that could harm your assets. This is particularly important when investing in volatile markets like stocks, S&P 500 indices, gold, or cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

By setting up a risk management strategy, you not only protect your family’s finances but also pursue long-term investment goals without worrying about sudden losses.

Expert Advice: Mr. Tran Huy Thanh, a financial expert at BeQ Holdings, shares: “Investing always comes with risks. However, applying risk management strategies will help you stay in control and protect your family’s finances safely.”

Before you start investing, it’s important to set clear financial goals and determine your risk tolerance. Everyone has a different level of risk tolerance. Some people are willing to take high risks to achieve big profits, while others prefer safer investments.

• High profit comes with high risk: If you aim for large profits from indices like Nasdaq 100 or BTC, you need to understand that market fluctuations will be frequent. You should mentally prepare to face potential losses.
• Consider long-term goals: If you prioritize safety and stability, investments such as bonds or gold may be more suitable, providing protection for your family’s assets.

Real-life Example: Ms. Mai Anh, a small investor, focused on investing in the S&P 500 index for long-term stability. Thanks to setting clear financial goals and not being swayed by high-risk opportunities, she has successfully maintained stable finances for her family over the past five years.

Two important tools in risk management are Stop Loss and Take Profit. These tools are essential for every investor, especially busy women, to ensure that you don’t lose too much in an unfavorable trade or miss out on profit opportunities.

• Stop Loss: This tool automatically exits your trade if the asset price drops to a predetermined level. It ensures that you don’t suffer significant losses if the market moves against you. Set a Stop Loss to reduce risk to no more than 1-3% of your capital to limit losses in case of sharp market movements.
• Take Profit: This tool automatically locks in your profit when the asset reaches your target price. Set your Take Profit with a Risk-to-Reward ratio of RR Min 1:2 – 1:4 to ensure stable profits when the market is favorable, avoiding sudden reversals.

Illustrative Example: Ms. Lan, an investor in the BeQ Financial Revolution community, used Stop Loss to avoid losing more than 3% of her capital during a sharp drop in the BTC market in May 2024. As a result, she preserved her capital and was able to continue trading when the market recovered.

Diversification is one of the most effective risk management strategies. Instead of putting all your assets into one type of investment, spread your capital across different asset classes to minimize risk. If one market faces difficulties, other markets can still protect your assets.

• Invest in different sectors: You can invest in sectors like technology (Nasdaq 100), finance (S&P 500), or safe assets like gold.
• Invest in various asset classes: Besides stocks and indices, consider bonds, real estate, or even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Practical Research: According to a study from Morningstar, investors who diversify their portfolios have a 27% higher success rate compared to those who focus solely on one asset type.

Understanding market sentiment is a crucial aspect of risk management. Fear or greed can push asset values up or down quickly. That’s why tracking market sentiment using tools like CCPI Dashboard Live is essential.

• Fear and Greed Index: This tool measures the level of fear or greed among investors in the market. You can adjust your strategy to avoid getting swept up in emotional waves and invest more intelligently.
• Real-time market data: With CCPI Dashboard Live, you can monitor real-time market data and make more accurate investment decisions, reducing risk for your portfolio.

Illustrative Example: In July-August 2024, when the Fear and Greed Index showed a sharp increase in greed, Ms. Hong decided to sell some of her tech stocks before the market corrected, thanks to signals from CCPI Dashboard Live.
