Understanding market volatility
Understanding market volatility
Whether you're an avid investor or someone who wants to start dabbling in the world of finance, the market has seen and continues to see its fair share of highs and lows and ebbs and flows. And here's something to consider: Even though investing can feel like an emotional (and monetary) rollercoaster ride, it's important to keep a few things in mind.
Don't confuse the broader market with your specific investment portfolio(s)
You don't necessarily need to adjust your portfolio because the markets are continuing to be particularly volatile. In fact, the volatility you see may present an opportunity to invest in funds available through your group plan at lower prices.
Expect the unexpected Volatility is a normal and healthy part of market cycles. So even if you feel uneasy about keeping your money in certain markets ? especially when markets are volatile or if you're approaching retirement ? you're wise to maintain some historical perspective when you recognize these trends. Markets generally correct after a big decline. Based on historical data, average downturns of 22 per cent are likely to return to normal ? or better ? within 16 months.
