Is volatility always a sign of greater portfolio risk?

Not necessarily.

An investment can be more volatile on its own, yet still play a valuable role within a diversified portfolio.

The reason? Portfolio risk depends not only on how individual investments move, but also on how they move relative to one another.

In our latest article, we explore:
• What standard deviation tells us about volatility
• Why correlation matters when assessing portfolio risk
• How diversification can change the overall risk profile
• Why an investment should not be judged in isolation

The key takeaway: looking at the whole portfolio can provide a very different picture from looking at individual investments.

Market volatility can make even the most experienced investors question their strategy.

When markets fall sharply or fluctuate, it can be tempting to react by moving to cash, picking individual stocks or trying to time the recovery. But history shows just how difficult it is to consistently predict what markets will do next.

A more disciplined approach is to focus on the principles that underpin a long-term investment strategy:

• Stay broadly diversified
• Maintain a consistent asset allocation
• Avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term market movements
• Keep your long-term financial goals at the centre of your decisions

Investing is not about predicting every market move. It is about having a strategy you can stick with when markets become challenging.

When markets move, there is often a temptation to react. Sell what has fallen. Buy what is performing well. Change strategy. Do something.

But sometimes, the most valuable decision is knowing when not to act.
That doesn't mean investing is truly passive. Even a portfolio that is rarely traded reflects important decisions about diversification, concentration, rebalancing and when you started investing.

The challenge is being deliberate about those decisions rather than reacting to whatever is happening in the markets today.

As investors, we don't need to predict every market movement. We need a strategy we can stick with through them.

Market volatility is inevitable. Panic doesn’t have to be.

The past few years have shown just how quickly the investment landscape can change. Pandemics, inflation, geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates and market swings have tested even the most confident investors.

So, what does a good financial plan look like?

Not one that predicts what happens next. One that is built around your goals, your circumstances and a level of risk you can genuinely live with.

Because the real test of an investment plan isn’t how it performs when markets are calm. It’s whether you can stick with it when they aren’t.

Are you investing… or just betting?
Picking stocks, timing the market and chasing the latest trend can feel like investing, but sometimes it looks a lot more like gambling.

Investing is about participating in long-term economic growth. Betting is about trying to predict an outcome better than everyone else.

So ask yourself: Am I building wealth, or trying to win a bet?

Read our latest blog to explore the difference between betting and investing, and what it means for your approach to the markets.

Does higher inflation really mean lower stock market returns?
It's a common assumption, but the evidence tells a different story.
Looking at the last 30 years of market data, there has been no consistent relationship between periods of high inflation and poor equity returns. High inflation has coincided with both strong and weak market performance, just as low inflation has.

Some key insights:
• 22 of the past 30 years delivered positive stock returns after inflation was taken into account.
• Going all the way back to 1926, The S&P 500's annualised inflation-adjusted return on stocks was also 7.0%.
• Markets price in expectations. Rather than reacting to inflation headlines, investors are generally better served by focusing on their long-term investment strategy than attempting to predict short-term market movements.

Inflation can create uncertainty, but history suggests it isn't a reliable predictor of future equity returns. Staying diversified and maintaining a disciplined, long-term approach has consistently proven to be a more effective strategy than making decisions based on economic headlines.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform economies and boost productivity. But history suggests that stronger economic growth doesn't automatically lead to higher stock market returns.
From the railways to the dot-com boom, technological revolutions have created enormous value for society, yet shareholders haven't always been the biggest beneficiaries.

For long-term investors, the lesson is clear: successful investing isn't about chasing the latest innovation. It's about maintaining a disciplined, diversified portfolio built around your long-term goals.

This interesting read from The Evidence Based Investor explores what history can teach us about AI, economic growth and long-term investment returns.

Oil prices are influenced by countless factors, from geopolitical events and global demand to production decisions and market sentiment. With so many variables at play, consistently forecasting where prices will go next is exceptionally difficult.

Rather than reacting to short-term commodity price movements, a disciplined, diversified investment strategy is often the more reliable path to achieving long-term financial goals.

Read this interesting article from Dimensional to learn why staying invested matters more than trying to predict the next move in oil prices.

When headlines are dominated by the latest 'hot stock' or investment trend, it's easy to believe that successful investing is all about making the next big bet.

But history tells a different story.

Long-term wealth is rarely built by trying to outguess the market. It's built through discipline, diversification and staying invested with a strategy designed to meet your goals, not chase the latest trend.

In this insightful article from Dimensional, David Booth explores the difference between investing and gambling, and why a long-term, evidence-based approach gives investors the greatest chance of success.

Markets are at record highs. Should investors be worried?

It's a question many investors ask whenever markets reach new highs.
The instinct is understandable. It can feel like the wrong time to invest or the right time to take money off the table.

But history tells a different story.

Since 1990, developed markets have reached hundreds of all-time highs, and they've continued to climb over the long term. In fact, research suggests that investing at market highs has historically produced positive long-term outcomes more often than many investors expect.

The lesson?

All-time highs are not a signal to panic. They are a normal part of how markets grow over time.

Rather than trying to predict the next correction, successful investing is about staying diversified, maintaining perspective and focusing on your long-term goals.
