Appleton Group’s risk-managed strategies currently carry significant cash positions, and have been proactively adjusted to sport a defensive posture at the present time. Short-term volatility is likely to create additional uncertainty in the markets, and we expect sharp rebounds from time-to-time as is common during market downturns.
