One of the primary goals of AAII is to help investors outperform the market with less risk. At AAII, we believe “risk” is a tool to be managed for your benefit, not something to be avoided.
For example, for some investors, an investment with a 10% return and low risk may make more sense than one with a 20% return and moderate risk. For others, it may be the opposite.
It all depends on how each stock you add correlates with the rest of your portfolio.
The key is to manage the risk of all your holdings together, rather than considering each one separately. We give our members all the tools and education they need to effectively manage portfolio risk while maximizing returns.
With AAII’s 3-in-1 investing toolkit, you can help minimize risk by choosing from more than 50 predefined stock screens, some specifically designed to reduce risk exposure through selective criteria.
You can further manage risk by using our A–F Stock Grades to vet new investments and evaluate those already in your portfolio. These grades rank stocks based on data, not emotion, using a company’s fundamentals to assign it grades from A through F.
You can also choose exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds and use our screening tools to compare options, helping you identify those that align with your performance goals and individual risk preferences.
AAII Membership gets you access to stock ideas lists that give you even more investment opportunities, vetted by our strategies’ criteria and filters so you can choose stocks that meet your individual preferences and fill holes in your portfolio to reduce risk even further.
Lastly, you’ll also receive access to our Investor Hub and My Portfolio+ so you can manage your portfolios, save your favorite stock screens, see AAII Stock Grades against your investments and choose which data points you want to see, even when those preferences change.
And you get all of the above for a fraction of the cost of other similar investing services, with our special discount bringing a one-year subscription down to $198 during our Fall Membership Drive.
