With so much uncertainty in the world so much of the time, many people wonder whether now is a good time to invest. Is there ever really a “perfect” time to get started?

  • When markets fall, it can be tempting to move into cash or sell investments. But can making decisions based on fear or headlines do more harm than good?
  • We often hear the phrase “it’s time in the market, not timing the market”. What does that actually mean for ordinary investors?
  • What are the key principles people should follow if they want to build a successful long-term investment strategy? How do you help your clients invest with peace of mind?
