    With recent market fluctuations and ongoing global events, we understand that you may have concerns about your investments. To help address these concerns, we’ve put together a short video featuring our Managing Director, Shaun Wood, and Financial Planner, George Smith. In this video, they discuss the current financial landscape and explain why it’s essential to stay focused on long-term fundamentals rather than being swayed by short-term headlines. 

    In the video, Shaun highlights: 

    • Trumponomics vs Fundamentals when navigating the markets. 
    • How diversification plays a key role in managing risk. 
    • The impact of geopolitical events on markets – and why fundamentals matter more. 
    • The importance of a measured, data-driven approach to investing rather than reacting to fear. 

    As Shaun explains, while uncertainty can create market fluctuations, history shows that staying the course with a well-structured investment strategy leads to better long-term results. Selling investments based on short-term fear often leads to missed opportunities when the market recovers. 

    We invite you to watch the video for Shaun’s full insights. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your portfolio in more detail, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
