Please click the link below to view Shane Oliver’s view on the recent falls in world share markets.
Key points covered are:
- Periods of declines and volatility in share markets are a normal part of the way they work
- Share markets fall tend to be deepest when associated with recession (particularly US recessions)
- Share market falls boost the medium term return potential from shares and once share markets bottom they are invariably followed by a strong rebound.
- Trying to time the bottom though is always hard, so averaging in after falls makes sense for those looking to allocate cash to shares
