Huygens is the asset allocation portfolio up for review this morning.  This portfolio is set up to “resist” taking too big a hit when the correction or recession sets in sometime over the next 12 to 18 months.  A correction or recession is certainly not a sure

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 13 September 2024

September 14, 2024 By Lowell Herr
