Market Volatility
Date Published: 12th August 2011
You may have read the recent headlines about the dramatic swings in the US and other share markets around the world. It’s important to put these developments in the context of your longer-term financial plan, so the link below provides some questions and answers to help you understand what’s causing this volatility.
A number of factors have contributed to this extreme volatility, including political events, natural disasters, the US debt debate and concerns over the problems in Europe. On the upside, Australia does not have a huge government debt. Relative to other parts of the world, Australian banks are also financially strong. However, please bear in mind that markets will continue to go up and down for a while due to ongoing uncertainties in political and economic environments across the world.
At times like these it’s really important to stay calm and remember some of the fundamental principles of investing, such as making sure you have a diversified portfolio, and investing for the long term. By taking a long-term approach to investing, you give your investments time to recover from the downswings that are a natural part of any investment cycle.
We are here to help you manage risk and look at your long-term financial strategy. This is the best way to build and preserve wealth, so please don’t hesitate to contact us on 02 6620 0300 to discuss your situation and to clarify any questions you may have.
