BMO InvestorLine: In Volatile Markets Investment Gains Require Commitment and Focus
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/22/12 -- Even the most seasoned investors can get caught up in a volatile market environment and lose sight of their financial goals. BMO InvestorLine encourages Canadian investors to adopt a diversified approach to investing during times of economic uncertainty - one that maintains a return on their investments, while hedging against unnecessary risk.
"Market swings - even wide ones - are a normal part of investing," said Cesar Rainusso, Vice President, BMO InvestorLine. "Several factors lead us to conclude that volatility will continue to characterize the financial markets for the foreseeable future, and, while it may be difficult to watch your investments decline in value, Canadians should remain invested and keep a long term view to ultimately reach their investment goals."
While investors may feel uncertain when it comes to their investments during periods of market volatility, according to a recent BMO study, almost half (47 per cent) of Canadian investors believe that volatile markets present good opportunities to invest. Furthermore, respondents considered this current investing environment "the new normal," with almost three-quarters (72 per cent) of the view that market volatility is here to stay.
Look forward, not back
During times of market volatility it is critical that investors not only review their portfolio periodically, but continue to look forward, stay invested and not dwell on how much their portfolio was worth a few years back. Times change and the markets change with them.
"Temper your expectations with common sense and always avoid timing the market - a strategy that rarely works," said Mr. Rainusso. "Before you consider selling, review the reasons why you bought the investment; if nothing about the company has substantially changed, you may want to hang onto your shares a little longer as they may pick up."
For investors thinking about when to buy or sell in a volatile economy, consider the following:
