The 2022-23 inflation spike and accompanying stock volatility spurred many investors toward high-yield fixed-income investments as risk protection for their portfolios. But with core inflation edging lower and stock volatility more in hand, you may want to look at another investment—value stocks—to diversify* your portfolio further in 2024.
Value stocks are frequently linked to solid, well-established businesses that operate in dependable sectors. Although their development rates may be slower, they are seen as financially reliable and may be undervalued by the market. Growth stocks are often found in sectors with strong growth potential, such as emerging markets, healthcare, or technology. These businesses may have greater volatility because they are frequently in their early phases and reinvesting profits in growth.
What reduces the volatility and risk of value stocks? While their potential for capital appreciation may be moderate, they often offer steady income through dividends. In addition, the issuing company is already established and may have overcome many risks start-up or infant companies face. Meanwhile, growth stocks carry higher risk due to their higher volatility and market expectations.
While they offer the potential for significant capital appreciation, they may also experience greater price fluctuations and have a higher chance of underperforming during market downturns.
*Diversification cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses. Past performance won’t guarantee future results. Investing in stocks or mutual funds can result in a loss of principal.
