Should I Be Worried About My Money Right Now? What Global Uncertainty Actually Means for Your Portfolio
4/21/202647 min
If you’ve opened your investing app lately and immediately closed it again… this one’s for you.
The share market has been all over the place, headlines are talking about global uncertainty, and it’s very easy to feel like you should be doing something with your investments or your superannuation right now.
So let’s talk about it.
Victoria and Bec break down what’s actually driving the market movements, what’s behind the recent drops, and how global events are flowing through to Australia and your portfolio.
And more importantly… what to do next.
Because when the market dips, the instinct to panic, sell your investments, or switch your super to something “safer” can feel like the right move… but it’s often the most expensive one.
If you’ve been wondering what to do when the market drops, or feeling unsure about your investing strategy right now, this will help you make sense of it and feel a whole lot calmer about what comes next.
