Learn how the innovation of “Risk Replacement” mitigates loss to enhance returns. See how actual results closely match theoretical expectations. Is this the future of investing for retirement?

Mike will present a real-world example that shows how you can increase your investment returns by reducing your portfolio risk. It employs an innovation called "Risk Replacement".
Conventional investment wisdom states that you can only get greater returns by taking on greater risk. This is false. Reduced risk can lead to increased returns, simply because recoveries are able to start from much higher levels. In this session with Mike Dever, you'll learn how.

Risk Replacement is an innovation that enables investors to capture the upside potential of holding a high-performing asset—such as Nasdaq stocks—but replace that high-risk with the lower risk associated with a more conservative portfolio.

Some benefits are:

  • The ability to stay fully invested in stocks and-without engaging in unpredictable market timing-avoid substantial bear markets.
  • Increase portfolio returns above those achieved by buy-and-hold, while also reducing risk.

This keynote talk not only introduces the concept of Risk Replacement but then also shows a specific way it can be used by accredited investors.

Jackass Investing: Don't do it. Profit from it.

Jackass Investing is as provocative as its title. Mike Dever systematically rips apart the conventional investment wisdom – myth by myth – then replaces it with a “return driver” based methodology that results in a “Free Lunch” portfolio – one that produces both greater returns and lower risk.
