Ask the advisors: How can I navigate market volatility?

“Market swings can make us question the strength of our financial plan! Focus on your long-term goals and avoid the temptation to make fear-driven moves like selling everything. Staying informed and making decisions rooted in faith and trust can allow you to navigate market volatility confidently, not fearfully.”

—Annie DeLuca, financial advisor, Abundance Advisor Group, Canton, Georgia

“Work with a financial advisor and have a financial plan in place that acts as your financial roadmap. Without a financial plan in place, you may view negative returns as an indication you are not doing well financially. Fear and panic can set in. A plan shows you how you are on track to achieve your goals despite turbulent markets.”

—Brian Pomante, financial advisor, Virtual Advice Team

“Market volatility is a sign of a living economy. It shows the market is reacting to the world and its constant changes, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but always present. Therefore, a still market would be unnatural. The key is to stay focused and invest consistently according to your goals.”

—Andy Grijalba, financial advisor, Houston, Texas
