Investors could find that their
stock market interest drops further in value as the current
market volatility continues, it has been claimed.
After a 400-point fall in the
FTSE 100 this week, those looking to secure their assets should
take steps to make sure their
investments are not jolted by further dips, said Edward
Jones.
The
investment specialist offered advice to those likely to be
affected. Tips included reviewing the diversification of one's
equity portfolio and focussing on the elements one has control
over.
In addition, laddering one's
fixed-income investments and checking the asset allocation to
ensure that fixed income is adequate could be vital, noted the
company.
Edward Jones commented: While we don’t know which way
shares are likely to move from day to day, we think the drop is
an unpleasant reminder that
stock market volatility is a normal part of the
investing process.
Nick Sparks of FC Partners recently stated that many
investors are currently selling out of panic, which is leading
to a number of bad transactions. This will lead to hedge
opportunities presenting themselves in good time, the analyst
believes.
