UBS: Guide. Sådan håndterer man risiko i et bear marked

We are now in a bear market, but what does that mean?

A bear market is defined as a greater-than-20% peak-to-trough drop in the S&P 500. When we crossed this threshold on 12 March 2020, it officially ended the longest bull market streak in history.
