In this segment, the speaker explains how angel investing can be incorporated into a long‑term investment portfolio as an additional layer of diversification. While traditional assets such as stocks, mutual funds, and index funds are tied to public‑market cycles and fluctuate with the broader economy, angel investments are largely insulated from those movements. Because they are not correlated with public‑market performance, angel investments provide a hedge, allowing investors to spread risk and protect their overall portfolio from economic downturns.

Chapters

You can slide angel investing into that same slot within your portfolio, long term slot, but you still have an extra layer of diversification, because your traditional investments, your stocks, your mutual funds, your index fund, things of that nature, are all going to be invested in the public markets, and they're going to rise and fall based on the economy within those markets. Whereas your angel investments, also long term, they're not going to be correlated to your other investments. They're not going to rise and fall based on the economy. Right. As a matter of fact, they're almost insulated to the, the, the rises and falls and falls of the economy from that perspective. So you have another layer of diversification with angel investing, still long term, but not correlated to your traditional investment. So you got a nice way to hedge your bets, so to speak.
