REMAIN INVESTED! Always think long term

LAST YEAR TOOK us through a whirlwind of change and 2021 is expected to be the same.
Sometimes change, brought on by fear or financial pressure, leads us into making impulsive or harmful financial decisions.

Your money is important to you and this may cause hasty reactions if you feel that your savings are being threatened. Your instinct to protect your savings can make you react impulsively, which can be detrimental in the long term.

Throughout 2020, there was heightened volatility in the financial markets. At times like these it is very important to focus on the long-term picture, which can easily be overshadowed by short-term noise.

The importance of remaining invested

When faced with any sort of adversity, do not abandon your long-term financial strategy.

Maintain your contributions to your retirement fund and stay invested.

The long-term investment approach is there for a reason. It reminds you not to make impulsive decisions when you are under pressure. It ensures that your decisions are aligned with your financial goals and the kind of retirement you aim to achieve.
