With ongoing uncertainty and an extended bull run, it makes sense to balance an equity approach with something less correlated to market movements.

But defensive equity plays are still tied directly to equity risk.
One way to capital preservation could be through targeted fixed income and tailored gold ETFs. ETFs opened efficient avenues for sophisticated and specific targeting of investment goals, often seen in with equities in strategic beta products. ETFs have also enabled strategic income solutions to emerge that operate at a fraction of the cost of their mutual fund counterparts.
