Investing is an emotional experience. The markets can take investors on a roller coaster of emotion ranging from panic to euphoria. For investors who are particularly sensitive to market declines due to a shortened time horizon or an extreme fear of decreasing account value, CLS’s Protection portfolios seek long-term growth as well as protection of principal account value.
