The Power of Consistency and Commitment | AWM Insights #175

World developments frequently impact financial markets and test the resolve of investors. The fear, panic, and uncertainty these events cause are exactly what creates the concept of a “risk premium.”

The evidence is also very clear. Those who weather the storm have been rewarded over the long run. Consider the COVID outbreak, the Great Recession, and the Dot Com Bubble. These were all significant periods where markets moved, but the investors who didn’t panic and stayed in the market were rewarded for their perseverance.

Investing is not always going to be a smooth and comfortable ride, but the destination is worth it.
