How to build a defensive portfolio with growth potential

Many investment strategies are designed to deliver capital growth or regular income – but some investors want a mix of both. How can they build a portfolio that balances both without being cumbersome to manage? In this episode, Paul MacDonald from Harvest ETFs explains why a "barbell" strategy focusing on higher growth "risk-on" and defensive "risk-off" investments can make sense for investors who want a balance of capital growth and regular income. He'll also discuss how to build a barbell portfolio using ETFs and some key factors to consider when choosing funds for this strategy. Plus, Paul takes viewer questions about investing strategy in our live Q&A session.
