Index risk

Benchmarks provide context, not certainty.

Indices can be concentrated, region-specific, currency-sensitive, or affected by broad economic cycles.

  • Use indices to compare and contextualize portfolio movement.
  • Review index methodology and concentration before drawing conclusions.
  • Pair benchmark awareness with ETF and stock allocation reviews.
