Financial Planning

Your Guide to Surviving Market Volatility gives investors clear direction on handling market volatility in their portfolios.

When markets are swinging wildly, you may be tempted to make portfolio changes to avoid losses, which is understandable. After all, you may be watching the value of your life savings drop dramatically. But how can you be sure making changes is the right thing to do? In volatile times, it’s all too easy to make emotional decisions that result in selling low when stocks are falling or buying high after stocks have recovered. Portfolio moves like that could keep you from meeting your long-term investing goals—or worse, cause you to run out of money in retirement.

Financial Planning

Why should you worry about your net worth?

Typically, net worth is a yardstick of choice for measuring financial success. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t wonder how yours stacked up against your peers. Maybe you’ve self-consciously poked around on the Internet or eyed your neighbor’s new sports car and tried to guess if you were ahead or behind the curve.

It doesn’t have to be a mystery. It’s okay to want to know! In fact, it’s smart to know exactly what you’re dealing with so you can put a successful strategy in place.

Once you know your net worth, the next questions should be obvious… Is it enough to ensure a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of your and your loved ones’ lives? And what is your strategy to achieve this, or if you’re on track, to stay that way?
