I think stay the course. And if you look at history, the best thing to be doing is to stay invested. There is going to be volatility, there is gonna be fear in the marketplace. There are gonna be opportunities. And when there is fear in the marketplace, generally speaking, that’s the best time to add or stay invested. It’s very, very difficult to time the market. It’s very difficult to time the top and very difficult to time the bottom. So you know I think equities is a great way to create long term wealth. And so, you know, be diversified and stay invested is what I’d say to you. And, of course, you know, the market is volatile, the world is volatile, but generally humans continue to make progress and equity returns in the past at least, have been superior to other asset classes. So well stay invested.

Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice.
