Merrill Lynch also offers some sage advice for these volatile times: “Sometimes the most difficult thing to do in investing is to look past the present and plan for the future. That is especially true given today’s tumultuous investment environment.” As they continue to argue, great resets offer great opportunities for investors that don’t get caught up in the short-term ebb and flow of the market. As such, we believe investors should not fret about whether we are at or near the bottom of the current stock market rout, whether the Federal Reserve will be hiking rates by 75 or 25 basis points, or whether we are experiencing a growth scare or heading for a normal recession. It’s more important to navigate uncertainty with a disciplined, long-term approach.
