Market volatility has been front page news recently. The Australian and international stockmarkets have been subject to a range of global pressures such as the fear of recession in the US and the sub-prime mortgage ‘crisis’.
You will soon receive your annual reports on your investments and the results are unlikely to be positive, and may leave you feeling unsettled. It’s important to put these results in to perspective. The recent downturn in the Australian and international markets follows a much longer period of excellent returns stretching back over five years. It’s not unusual for a period of excellent returns to be followed by a downturn like the one we’re experiencing at the moment.
Investing for your future is a long-term strategy. Reacting to the recent downturn by selling off investments is short-term thinking that could lock in your losses. History shows us that staying the course pays dividends in the longer term.
Here are some resources from major fund managers about dealing with market volatility.
