Reassess Attitude to Investment Risk During Coronavirus
Published / Last Updated on 29/06/2020
The stock market indices that we track fell by 33% in March on average from their ‘year highs’ in February.
They then rebounded by 30% just a few weeks later.
If you had been fully invested in stock markets and not in a balanced portfolio at the time you would have seen significant falls in value and then, equally the same recovery in value.
- How did that make you feel?
- Did it make you nervous and worried for the future?
- Are you still worried?
- Did you miss out on the recovery?
- Will it happen again?
Should you increase or decrease your risk exposure on your short term (1-5 years) investments, your medium term (5 -10 years) investments and your longer term (10 years +) investments?
Is it time to reassess your attitude towards risk and tolerance to investment losses?
