How to improve investment performance

Full Show Notes:

A Disciplined Approach to Investing 

For the vast majority of investors, having discipline when investing is hard. Throw in social media and unlimited internet access, and it becomes even harder. Price movements and news are available everywhere, and all you need these days is an app to make investment changes within seconds. But here’s the thing; successful investing requires discipline. You can’t win unless you focus on long-term fundamentals and implement a systematic approach that removes emotions from investment decision-making. 

If you want to develop a little more discipline, review your goals, have a strategy to achieve them, and then put strict measures in place that ensure you stick to the strategy. Yes, investing can be overwhelming but never let your emotions become a part of it. 

 

The Benefits of Staying Invested 

Global markets are experiencing a turbulent year. Recent months have not been easy for the average investor, with tragedy after tragedy affecting the markets. From inflation, the central bank policies, to the Ukraine war, investors seem to always have something to worry about. However, this is not reason enough to move your money. Yes, volatility isn’t fun, but getting out of the market is not an option. If you’re a long-term investor, it’s probably the best time to stay invested. Investors who move often run the risk of missing periods of quality returns. Plus, investors are more likely to achieve their long-term goals by remaining invested and avoiding short-term changes that take them off course.
