Most people assume that income from investing in the stock market relies heavily on market trends. While this may be true to a certain extent, there are investment strategies that empower people to protect their assets in the long run. One way to optimize one’s assets, regardless of market performance, is a tactical asset allocation strategy.
The Lyons Tactical Allocation Portfolio offers investors an attractive opportunity to capture market growth while protecting capital. Its balance of offense and defense has navigated all market environments with exceptional returns.
The Small Cap Value Strategy consists of a diversified portfolio of small-cap value stocks traded on US stock exchanges. We utilize our Fundamental Process, including our proprietary GRAPES valuation model, to screen the universe of mid-, small, and micro-cap companies to find attractive candidates. We are typically looking for companies with current solid operating results and conservative balance sheets that are trading at discounted prices.
The Lyons Wealth Small Cap Value Strategy offers a compelling avenue to participate in the exponential growth smaller companies can achieve. By investing with Lyons Wealth, clients gain professional guidance navigating this higher-returning yet complex arena.
The Enhanced Yield Strategy aims to give investors a high and steady income regardless of market conditions. This income is more tax-efficient than bond income, and capital growth is a secondary goal. The portfolio includes leveraged, dividend-paying stocks, with risk managed by options strategies to protect against losses. The plan seeks a higher-than-average net yield and remains fully liquid without requiring additional capital.
At Lyons Wealth Management, we understand the importance of making informed investment decisions. Our Enhanced Yield Strategy is designed to help investors generate additional income from their existing portfolio holdings while managing risk through options trading strategies.
A concentrated stock position happens when a large part of an individual’s wealth is invested in one or a few stocks.
