Investing In Today's Society
“Should I pull my money out?” is a common question most financial advisors are hearing as the trends of the stock market change. Although these times may seem uncertain, now more than ever it’s important to understand your long-term strategy. “If you look at trends in the stock market the last 50 years, you will see fluctuations of increases and decreases,” stated Brandon Yoder, Vice President of Wealth Services for Interra Investments. “Whenever the market dips, historically it generally bounces back up over time. That’s why it’s crucial to have the right long-term strategy in place and to consult your financial advisor with any concerns you might have,” he concluded.
In order to get the right long-term strategy, you will want to work through any questions or concerns you might have with your financial advisor regarding your current plan. If you’re not already working with a financial advisor and looking into options available to you, it’s important to work with a fiduciary. Financial advisors that are fiduciaries work in the best interest of the client and have an ethical duty to recommend the best investment options available to you. “Our financial advisors work as fiduciaries and tailor plans that are in the best interest of protecting our clients and achieving their long-term success,” stated Yoder.
Instead of reacting to the current trends in place and pulling dollars out of your 401k or other investments, it’s important to revisit your long-term strategy in your current investment plan or start a plan in good hands.
