Since the beginning of this year, volatility has returned to the markets, and it seems it may be with us for a while. High volatility can be stressful and unnerving for investors, particularly when it’s negative. But for long-term investors who are patient, volatility can help drive better outcomes. Weathering volatility requires setting aside the fear that can drive short-term decisions, and in this videocast, Senior Investment Advisor Dave Janec, FRM, explains how investors can become more comfortable with volatility and put it into the broader context of a long-term strategy.
