Key points raised are :

  • The past year has seen volatility in investment markets spike higher.
  • While fundamental drivers of volatility have fallen over time, investor sentiment has become a bigger driver.
  • Volatility may remain elevated for a bit yet, but the key for investors is to recognise that volatility is not necessarily the same as risk and to adopt strategies to avoid being sucked into emotional responses.
