“There is nothing certain, but the uncertain” – Proverb
Crises can trigger panic for clients, ultimately leading to costly short-term investment decisions. Today’s COVID-19 pandemic is scary—so scary that “playing it safe” to avoid losing money may seem like the only rational strategy. However, in the past 50 years, we’ve seen repeating patterns of crises and the market’s continued resilience. History shows that long-term investors who, in spite of their fear, stayed the course through crises and remained focused on their financial goals have been rewarded. We’ll be discussing:
- The relationship between stress, anxiety, and crises
- How investors’ instinctual behaviors can put their investment returns at risk
- Steps to help your clients maintain perspective during a crisis
