Marin Magazine - April 2020

It’s a fact that during the 2008 catastrophic stock market downturn, most investors lost significant wealth – and faith – in
financial markets. Many never fully recovered – financially or psychologically. Strangely, most investors are poised to make
the very same mistake during the next big market decline. Unfortunately, this is a result of Wall Street’s “set it and forget
it” approach to investing. Here at Main Street Research we see things differently. Our Active Risk Management process
mitigates the risk of catastrophic decline, as was the case in 2008, while at the same time allowing investors to participate
in today’s rising market. If you are interested in avoiding past mistakes, we should talk.
