Effective financial planning absolutely needs to take into account your short and medium-term goals, but the magic really happens when you take a step back and think big.\u00a0In this month\u2019s client corner, Nick Murray discusses how investors should think about the stock market.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stay With Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Long-term investors who have been through sell-offs in previous years know that time is on their side if they own good quality investments.<\/p>\n<p>High quality, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/b\/bluechipstock.asp\">blue-chip investments<\/a> with a proven track record of earnings performance or dividend payout may be dragged down with the turbulence, but will typically have less dramatic price fluctuations. As long as the business outlook for the company has not changed, it is likely that its share price will be restored when the market recovers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Remember The Big Picture<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dramatic markets make good headlines, but they need perspective. Volatility is typically a short-term phenomenon measured in days, weeks, and months. But over the years, the historic performance of the stock market is a patient reflection of the growth in the economy and the businesses that contribute to that growth. Long-term investors can take comfort in the steady increase in value that major stock markets have demonstrated over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Financial markets are resilient. They have crashed, recovered, and reached new high\u2019s time and time again. Patience and discipline will ultimately determine your success over a lifetime of investing. There will be times where you are tested and it\u2019s important to lean on your long-term plan and you will come out on top.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed this month\u2019s Client\u2019s Corner.
