Are you worried about the impact that inflation or a recession may have on your portfolio? A good way to hedge your risk is by investing in an exchange-traded fund (ETF). With an ETF, you don't have to worry about which stock is the best buy or whether you have a good mix. ETFs can hold many stocks and offer you lots of diversification while catering to your specific investing strategy.
A couple of ETFs that risk-averse investors should consider adding to their portfolios today are iShares U.S. Healthcare (NYSEMKT: IYH) and iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners (NASDAQ: RING) . With many top companies plus exposure to healthcare and gold, these ETFs can help strengthen your portfolio in the event that tougher times lay ahead for the economy.
