Owners of RIAs face a triple-threat risk when it comes to steep market corrections. Their clients would likely lose money, the values of their own portfolios would probably fall, and their firms’ enterprise values would take a hit. In this episode of "The Deep Dive," host Jay Hummel talks with Scot Billington about the risk and how to hedge it.

Scot suggests that RIA owners consider reducing their exposure to the S&P 500, as well as using options for protection, despite the high cost. The discussion also expl🔯ores how financial advisors can guide clients through managing risk, particularly during times of market volatility.
