Selling your investments when equity markets appear to be in crisis mode may feel like the right thing to do. However, decades’ worth of data show that staying invested through volatile times is a better way to achieve your long-term financial goals1. Time in the market is far more important – and fruitful – than trying to time the market. While market volatility is stressful, for well-prepared investors it can provide an excellent opportunity to pick up high-quality companies at bargain prices.
The days of investors generating returns off the back of constantly growing markets are in the past. Today’s environment demands a discerning, active approach from equities investors. Our investment managers each have different styles and approaches yet all have the same goal – to outperform the wider market over the long term.
Find the right investment manager for you.
