Why you should know Multi-Asset Trading to become a successful trader?

Many economic sectors and individual households have experienced pain over the past couple of years, which has compelled traders to find new strategies to mitigate their risks. The widespread use of multi-asset trading strategies was one of the effects of such changes.

Trading across different asset classes typically increases the likelihood of making it through a period of high volatility without suffering a big loss. In addition, because some assets, like cryptocurrency, are inherently more volatile than others, traders can choose the level of risk that suits them best.

So, in today’s blog, we can discuss why a trader must know about Multi-Assets and not just a single asset:

What is Multi-Asset Trading?

A multi-asset trading is one of the strategies combining multiple different asset classes, forming a portfolio of assets. Therefore, by dividing assets across various classes, multi-asset trading boosts the total portfolio’s diversification.

A multi-asset trading strategy can be implemented in a variety of ways. Most portfolios consist primarily of stocks and derivatives; however, you can also trade-in:

• Cash (including foreign currencies)
• Commodity
• Metals

Many of these assets will be mixed together in a multi-asset portfolio that is really diversified. You can even choose to put money into each of them. A well-diversified trader can manage any eventuality even though any asset may occasionally outperform or underperform the others. A multi-asset portfolio with various assets might offer protection from volatility and significant market fluctuations.

How can one mitigate risk by Multi-Asset Trading?

So, let us take an example to explain how can one mitigate risk by multi-asset trading-

There is a negative correlation between the dollar index and the Indian stock markets. This means that when the Dollar Index falls, the Indian Stock Markets rise and vice versa.

This is because FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors) invest more in Indian stocks when the dollar index declines because they receive larger profits than they would from investing in dollars.

This can be proven from the chart below:

As we can see from the chart above, how the Nifty 50 is falling as the USD\INR Index is increasing. To mitigate the risk of falling stock prices, you can trade in currencies futures.

Pros of Multi-Asset Trading

Below are the advantages of multi-asset trading-

• Diversification: Multi-asset trading is a simple strategy for achieving diversification and all of the advantages of a diverse portfolio.
• Protects against severe losses: By diversifying your holdings, you can profit from increases in all asset classes without taking on a disproportionate amount of the risks involved. If your portfolio is adequately diversified, even if one asset’s value plummets, your entire holding won’t be destroyed.
