Goldman Sachs strategist Cormac Conners advised institutional money managers to consider hedging portfolios against a significant market downdraft. The methods for this type of protection aren’t advisable for all investors, but Mr. Connors’ research report is a warning to all market participants to remain vigilant against growing risks.

The firm’s economists, however, expect only 1.0 per cent growth in the second half of 2023, leaving equities vulnerable to revenue shortfalls as growth slows.
