During a period of economic uncertainty and increased market volatility, building a well-diversified portfolio is increasingly important in helping you properly manage risk and pursue your long-term goals. Traditional investments are a critical element of this strategy.

- Mutual funds — Offer diversification across asset classes, geographic regions and investing styles
- Options — For investors who want to express a directional view on stocks, exchange traded funds or indices as well as those seeking to generate premium income from covered call writing, hedging single stock downside risk with protective puts or using index proxy hedges for portfolio protection, or to use leverage to amplify risk and potential returns.
- Puerto Rico funds — Provide innovative long-term wealth management solutions through UBS Asset Managers of Puerto Rico, and include equity and fixed-income funds
