Perspective on market behaviour over the short and long term

INVESTING FOR SUCCESS

Focus on the big picture ? 40 years of returns examined

Many events have affected markets in the past; however, over the long term, markets have historically bounced back. Investors who stayed the course increased their wealth ? and as you can see, the longer they stayed invested, the better.

INVESTING FOR SUCCESS

Think globally.

When it comes to investing, most of us seldom leave home. But since Canada makes up approximately 3% of the world's markets, investing solely in the Canadian market limits both investment opportunities and diversification.

Investing abroad can introduce additional risks: shifts in currency values, political and economic upheaval or poorly regulated markets. But it can also bring benefits: rapidly growing economies and well-established companies.

And as the chart shows, Canada and other international stock markets tend to move in different directions in relation to each other ? so investing in different parts of the world can bring both balance and greater growth to your portfolio.

INVESTING FOR SUCCESS

Time is money.

It's easy to put off investing. The common perception is that if you don't have enough money to invest now, it's better to contribute more later. But in fact, one of the best ways to build wealth is to start early ? even if it's only a small amount.

John makes ten annual contributions of $5,000 and receives an 8% annual return. He stops investing after ten years, and holds on to the investment for a further ten years, at an 8% annual return.

Susan makes ten annual contributions of $10,000 at an 8% annual return. She ends up with less than John, even though she invested twice as much money, because she started later.

So the sooner you invest, the more time your money has to grow and benefit from the power of compounding.

The risks of "safe" investments

When calculating your investment goals, you should always factor in inflation. Although inflation is currently low, the future holds no guarantees ? and even low rates can eat away at your savings.

The risk of inflation is one reason so-called "safe" investments such as GICs may not be so safe after all. Often they have low returns, so on their own they may not generate enough to meet your goals, once the increased cost of living is factored in.

Consider diversifying your portfolio with equities for better growth potential, to offset the impact of inflation.

Erosion of purchasing power

The chart illustrates the effect of inflation on $10,000. Even at the relatively low rate of 2%, $10,000 shrinks to $6,729 of purchasing power in 20 years.
