As volatility continues in global markets, it’s natural to question how best to manage your investments. For many, the temptation to panic and let fear take over is a natural reaction – and an understandable one at that. But one thing experience has taught us is that when markets fall, you shouldn’t try to time markets by switching your superannuation investments to cash.
Switching your super to a ‘safer’ investment like cash may seem like the right action at a time of instability, but equally, it might not be. The main reason is that you may mis-time the market and subsequently miss out on the benefits when the markets rebound.
