Navigating the Fog of Investor Panic
After a week of market chaos and panic, we want to help investors take a step back and assess why the stock market dropped, how much was potentially mechanical vs. fundamental, and what options investors have during times of heightened uncertainty. In this week’s market update, we look at the impact of heightened volatility on future returns and what lower interest rates may mean for different parts of the stock market, both in a soft landing or a recessionary one.
Key Takeaways
- Volatility blow-off tops are historically a time for discipline, not a time to sell
- Right now, the sell-off appears technical, not fundamental
- Focus on what works in a low-rate environment when the noise ends
