If you are someone who owns stocks, then I can say you should consider owning a basket of the most relevant brands. How you own them depends on your specific wants/needs.

If you prefer to work with a Financial Advisor: There’s a good chance the Brands strategy is available to him/her.

The Rational Dynamic Brands Fund is likely available for you to purchase through the Advisor’s mutual fund platform.

There are a number of regional broker/dealers available so reach out to me or your Advisor to check for availability.
