What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio., .

There are lots of mixed opinions about stocks and there projection in the next coming years, I aim for short term solid gains from market correction and I'd definitely jump on the boat if I knew a thing or two about day-trading, but then again what do I really know? I'm just looking for the right moves to grow and hedge my stagnant reserve of $370k from inflation.

I've worked for a PE firm and this is pretty spot on, I didn't even know PE firms in Europe had a different structure, good to learn something!

Why PE?
Because "private" translates to less public scrutiny, and, therefore, less responsibility, oversight, and transparency.

Not all income investments are created
equally. I've allocated my capital in a safe and sustainable way but still leave room for excitement for individual stocks, cryptos and new exciting opportunities!

No doubts, A good way of growing and saving your money is through investing . You don't need to have much before you can invest. "That little money you have now can make you millions if you invest it wisely". I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made

Anyone else here cause they are looking into a career in PE after university and not because of tiktok 😪

In a closed end structure who protects the investor. In both structures who protect the businesses. If I was a small business owner there is no way I’m signing a deal that allows you to walk away with all profits after being so hands on. I would negotiate a piece of the pie for the end of the sale. That way it gives me a “grace” period to adjust after all the changes.
