Weekly Client Letter – August 5, 2024

The recent sharp downturn in the market can raise concerns and questions. It’s important to remember that returns can fluctuate rapidly in the short term. What goes up can also come down quickly – this is a natural part of market dynamics.

However, long-term buy-and-hold strategies without diversification are not always the best approach. For instance, despite experiencing rallies and recoveries, Intel’s stock is down after 23 years, illustrating just how unpredictable market movements can be.

What this means for you

Having a well-thought-out plan and actively managing risk are crucial components of a successful investment strategy. This is why you are in a drawdown-risk-based portfolio – to help you stay on your plan regardless of market volatility.
