Managing Investments
During Uncertain Times
The coronavirus pandemic has
put the world in a very different
place in 2020 than it was in
previous years. The foremost
concern for countries has been
to take care of the health of
its citizens. This extraordinary
health crisis has also brought
about uncertainty in the
financial markets and its impact
might be felt for some time. Any
investor seeking to withstand
the crisis should keep in mind
the following considerations.
Diversify
Various asset classes react differently
to market volatility. Investing in a
diversified portfolio in the long term can
help to ensure more even returns over
time, even during periods of uncertainty.

It is vital to keep some cash
to hand during volatile times
to avoid relying on an asset’s
performance in the short term
to meet liquidity needs.
Seek Professional Advice When
Necessary
Seeking professional investment advice
during times of market volatility can be
effective in ensuring that an investor’s
portfolio is strong enough to weather
the storm. Financial advisors tend to
approach investment management
without emotion, an aspect that can
help them guide investors to make the
right decisions.
Keep Some Cash
It is vital to keep some cash to hand
during volatile times to avoid relying
on an asset’s performance in the short
term to meet liquidity needs. Having
cash to help during an uncertain period
provides the confidence to ride it out
without making any drastic investment
decisions.
