Full Show Notes:

Key Factors Influencing Market Volatility in 2022 and Historical Comparisons

The markets will always be volatile, particularly when you combine unpredictable economic events, crowd behaviour, and instinctive fear. For example, selling by investors drives more investors to sell, leading to a downward spiral in price. Another great example is the Russia-Ukraine war that played a hand in the market slump of early 2022. That said, we all know that the markets tend to recover, no matter the decline. And if you are a long-term investor, you also understand that time horizon perseverance often proves beneficial.

However, what we all want to understand is how the markets behave after extremely low declines. Historical analyses offer a blueprint for gauging what to expect after a steep decline and help guide trading decisions. If you analyze the intra-year declines, you’ll quickly notice that market volatility is a normal part of investing. And while the markets have not been kind to investors in 2022, this is not the time to think short-term or even try to micromanage the volatility. Instead, try and use historical trends and evidence that will help you take advantage of the market dislocation.

Why Volatility Matters For Retirees

We all plan to retire one day; we save for retirement during our working life to guarantee that we retire comfortably. This is also why we invest in accounts that let us invest over the long term or give you tax advantages. However, saving for retirement also means that your retirement savings will be subjected to market volatility. In fact, if you’re already in retirement, it would be best if you acknowledged that volatility isn’t your friend. It’s not a small bump on the road but will have consequences for your retirement plans depending on when you’re pulling from your portfolio and the rate at which you’re pulling out. Fortunately, taking some basic steps such as moving money towards more stable investments or diversifying your portfolio can help you manage this risk.
