Riding out market turbulence
What happened?
Tariffs have been a rollercoaster in recent weeks. On-again, off-again pronouncements from President Trump have wiped almost 10% from the Australian and New Zealand market since the start of February, eroding all the gains of the last few months.
Will markets rebound?
Markets often rise and fall in value, but history shows that they recover and grow in the long run – even through world wars, global pandemics and recessions. It’s important to remember that market volatility is a normal part of investing.
What should you do?
We recommend staying the course and not reacting to short-term fluctuations – instead focus on the long-term potential of your investment and wait for markets to recover and grow.
If you are concerned, we’re here to help.
I recommend talking to an adviser before making any changes to your investment, so you can understand the impact any changes may have. They can review your risk profile and investment timeframe to help you assess the best approach.
