Throughout your investing life you\u2019ll no doubt experience many market dips. Only by maintaining a long-term focus and staying invested will you benefit from the recoveries that typically follow. We\u2019ve all heard about \u2018time in the market\u2019 (versus \u2018timing the market\u2019) as an approach to long-term investing, which highlights the importance of the length of time spent in the market rather than trying to predict the best times to buy or sell. This strategy is based on the belief that, over time, the stock market will provide a positive return despite periods of volatility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Don\u2019t risk selling your investments and sitting in cash during stock market downturns, you will typically underperform those who remain invested.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-paragraph\">\n<p>So, focus on keeping calm and retain your composure, block out any \u2018noise\u2019 because it\u2019s a known known that markets are reactive and fluctuate, it\u2019s normal. Set realistic expectations and goals, and build a diversified portfolio across a broad spread of investments and global markets, so you can benefit from investments that may perform well when others are falling, it\u2019s all in the planning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-paragraph\">\n<p><strong>Always in control<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-paragraph\">\n<p>If you\u2019re mentally prepared, realistic, have a strategy and are supported by professional advice, you\u2019ll navigate the choppy waters feeling settled and in control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-paragraph\">\n<p><strong><em>It is important to take professional advice before making any decision relating to your personal finances.
