Any advice on the investment strategy with Syfe during economic downturns?

Hello there! You’re right that Syfe uses a risk-based rebalancing approach to manage our portfolios. For the REIT+ portfolio, that would mean adjusting the REITs and bonds allocation such that overall portfolio risk is kept within a 15% Downside Risk band.

Given how volatile the REIT market has been over the past weeks, we have adjusted the allocation to be around 50.5% REITs and 49.5% bonds. This rebalancing defends against rising market volatility, essentially providing yield with capital preservation. You can view more details here: https://www.syfe.com/reit-plus-portfolio

By investing regularly into the REIT+ portfolio during this period, you are indeed purchasing more REIT assets at a lower price.

But given how volatile the market is, nobody can predict whether REIT prices will trend lower or rebound. By also increasing your exposure to bonds, Syfe helps to limit excessive portfolio fluctuations, thereby giving you the confidence to hold on to your investments, even if the market were to tumble further.
