Market Volatility

We hope you are safe and well.

 

As I am sure you are aware, in the last six months we have been facing increasing amounts of global market volatility across all asset classes. Compounding this more recently has been the announcements of a new Prime Minister, the loss of our loved and respected sovereign, and a highly controversial mini-budget.

 

The wider media continue to play on a global feeling of panic. However, the advice that stood the test of time through the last comparable climate in 2008, is to stay invested and not allow short term volatility to trigger changes in medium to long-term investments. It is essential to remember that we invest your money for the medium to long-term; we will always endeavour to use our collective years of experience and disciplined approach to investing to repeat our successes through previous market shocks. This is not the time for knee-jerk reactions and emotional decisions.

 

That famous quote is worth mentioning again: ‘it’s not about timing the market, but about time in the market…’. This volatility will create opportunities; it is always a good time to discuss further investments to take advantage of potentially over exaggerated downswings in valuations, like buying more units for the same contribution, for example.
