Managed Accounts A Safer Bet

Since I lost much of my portfolio in last year’s stock “crash,” I am planning to put a good chunk of my money in a managed account, as Ms. Marquardt recommends. I can’t afford to lose thousands more dollars needed for my retirement. So, I am looking to invest in a separately managed account, probably PTI’s Protected Index Program, that will let me use options to limit my investment risk. With the stock market as unpredictable as it is, both protection of my investments and profit are critical.
