Why Long-Term Investing Pays Off During Market Volatility
By Chad Roope, CFA ®, Chief Investment Officer In times of economic uncertainty, it’s easy for investors to feel uneasy. Whether it’s inflation concerns, political events, or market downturns making headlines, short-term volatility can be unsettling. However, long-term investing strategies have consistently proven to be one of the most effective ways to build wealth and stay on track toward financial goals. Instead of reacting emotionally to market noise, long-term investors benefit from taking a step back and focusing on the bigger picture. Here’s why that mindset can make all the difference. The Stock Market Has Recovered from Every Major Crisis Over the last several decades, the U.S. stock market has faced recessions, geopolitical tensions, inflation spikes, and global pandemics.

Triggers for market volatility can come in many different shapes and sizes—policy uncertainty in Washington or Beijing, earnings reports, geopolitical unrest. And market swings can rattle even seasoned investors' nerves. But volatility is part and parcel of investing. So put such uncertain times to good use as a motivator to help ensure your investment strategy aligns with your long-term goals, timeline and stomach for risk. Dramatic moves in the market may cause you to question your strategy and worry about your money. A natural reaction to that fear might be to reduce or eliminate any exposure to stocks, thinking it will stem further losses and calm your fears, but that may not make sense in the long run.
