In the world of investing, insurance and protection strategies are often overlooked. These are critical elements that safeguard portfolios against unexpected losses.

To delve into this, I spoke with Peyman Salari, Owner of WiseInvest, who highlights the importance of a well-rounded approach to risk management in capital markets.

“Insurance isn’t just about health or car coverage; it’s about creating a safety net for your investments,” Salari explains. Ultimately, investors often emphasize growth but may overlook how various situations such as market volatility, economic downturns, or sudden shifts in lifestyle demands—can significantly impact their portfolios. According to Salari, “The right protection can stabilize returns and help investors avoid reactionary decisions, which often lead to losses.”

One key area where insurance plays a vital role is in asset-backed protection products. These can shield certain types of assets from drastic market drops. Investors are often encouraged to look at coverage options that align with their portfolio’s risk profile.

Building customized strategies can offer both peace of mind and a more resilient investing approach.

For investors at all levels, the message is clear: insurance and protection are not just financial products—they are tools for achieving long-term stability and security when investing.
