Moore, who helps individual investors build portfolios to deal with various market conditions, contends that traditional asset allocations in investing may fail in the future and describes the need for new asset classes to modernize the investment pie chart to withstand risky markets. He explains why bonds’ past performance can’t predict future results, misunderstandings about target date funds, why diversification fails, the need for strategies that generate returns in sideways and bear markets, the consequences of current economic conditions, the importance of sequence of returns, strategies that can input a hard floor below the market to hedge risk, short volatility as a small piece in new portfolios, synthetic options, and risk-adjusted returns.
