There are plenty of products on the market that can help preserve wealth. There are products with buffers or barriers, ladders etc. You can go Long/Short. There’s Market Neutral. Liquid Alternatives managed futures. . All weather. Some examples are SFLR CLSE BDMIX IALT ALLW CPIEX DBMF VMNFX IALT is my current new fund for this macro economic environment. Steadily grinding out results as the equities have stagnated these past few months. You can construct a portfolio with a much lower drawdown but might not gain as much as the SP500 on a bull run. You might want to throw in a bit of gold to hedge against the $ debasement.

not stocks per se, but VMNFX tends to do better when the market is down.

Vanguard has a hedge fund: Vanguard market neutral fund (VMNFX). Historical returns don't look great though.

The SEC includes stuff in the expense ratio that most reasonable people don't think should be included. For example Vanguard's Market Neutral fund incurs a lot of fees for borrowing and dividend expenses on short sales. Thus the expense ratio is quoted as 1.31%. However Vanguard only takes .2% out to cover fund expenses. Thus the "real" expense ratio, what people think of when they think of an expense ratio, is 20 basis points. BTW the ticker is VMNFX if you want to use this example to try and see the distinction.

VMNFX is a rlly cool vanguard fund considering it is one of the few long short funds available to individual investors. Though historically it has underperformed, in recent history it has done great due to market conditions.
