Las recesiones son inevitables. Aprenda a posicionar su cartera para sobrevivir a las crisis y aprovechar la recuperación que siempre las acompaña.
Recessions are a normal part of the economic cycle. On average, the economy enters a recesión roughly every seven to ten years. They cannot be reliably predicted, they cannot be avoided, and they are not signs that the economy is broken. They are a feature of how crecimiento económico works.
The good news for inversores a largo plazo is that every recesión in modern history has been followed by a recuperación that exceeded the previous peak. The bad news is that most inversores make their worst decisions during recesións, locking in losses that turn temporary declines into permanent damage.
Protecting tu portafolio during a recesión is not about avoiding losses. It is about maintaining the disciplina that allows you to participate fully in the recuperación.
Qué Realmente Protege un Portafolio
Diversification across genuinely independent temas económicos provides the strongest structural protection. During a recesión, not all sectors decline equally. Healthcare tends to be more resilient than tecnología. Agricultural demand persists even when consumer spending falls. Energy cycles often move independently of broader ciclos económicos.
The portafolio that survives a recesión best is not the one that avoids all losses. It is the one that maintains balance across themes so that the strongest performers help offset the weakest. This balance requires rebalancearo during the downturn, which automatizado systems handle without the emotional resistance that prevents most inversores from executing.
Cash reserves are commonly recommended as recesión protection, but holding too much cash comes with its own cost: missed recuperación gains. The inversores who held significant cash positions during past recesións often missed the sharpest part of the recuperación while waiting for confirmation that the recesión was over.
Sobrevivir a una Recesión con Disciplina
The most important thing you can do during a recesión is nothing extraordinary. Maintain your asignación. Continue your contributions if possible. Let your rebalancearo system do its work. The recuperación will come, and the inversores who maintained their position will capture it fully.
Automated gestión de portafolios is particularly valuable during recesións because it removes the emotional element from decision-making during the period when emotions are most likely to cause harm.
