Should I sell down my investments when market is volatile

In the last year, market has proven to us that it can be pretty volatile and unpredictable. I had lots of people asking me if they should sell down their investments either privately owned, so invested on their personal names or under any other structure such as trust or a company, as well as investments held within superannuation.

I always hear that cash is better and safer. So let’s look into this a little bit dipper to understand if such decision is good or not in current market conditions, and what impact it can have on your overall value of assets, value of your estate and your income, especially in retirement.

Markets have been volatile in 2023. Have a look at this chart, we can easily see that whatever balance we started investments with, at the beginning of 2023, that’s what we ended up today, almost the end of 2023. And we can clearly see all the ups and downs from month to month, and this is exactly what scares lot of people, and they sell investments and run to the safety of cash.

Short term drops are only just that short term market adjustments to various news. If you react to every single negative news, you will keep losing money on both ends, selling when the market has already fallen and on the rise, as you will never be able to predict the market bottom, therefore you will lose most of the recovery time.
