Market Volatility Should Not Ruin Your Financial Plan
Volatility is inherent in financial markets. Periods of relative calm and complacency are usually upended by sudden bouts of volatility. Economic shocks or sudden policy shifts are often causes. Even anticipated macroeconomic changes can be disruptive if the reality is different than previous expectations, like, say, a faster pace of interest rate hikes.
Recent market volatility may be unsettling for many, but it should not be entirely unexpected. That is not to say its timing is predictable, just that volatility is a fact of life in financial markets.
Those with a solid financial plan should not have to worry during times like this. A well-thought-out plan prepares for volatility. An investor’s asset allocation should not have to change due to market declines at that moment. Proper financial planning, which includes seeing how your investment portfolio performs through various market conditions, provides relief in knowing that you are still on the right track.
