‘The hardest work in investing is not intellectual; it’s emotional. Being rational in an emotional environment is not easy. The hardest work is not figuring out the optimal investment policy; it’s staying committed to a sound investment policy.'

You've heard it all this year - shares crashing, bond market in turmoil, pension schemes at risk, another bear market, the highest inflation rate in decades, mortgage rates through the roof...

What the hell do you do?

Take a deep breath then read and reflect on these 10 tips.

I promise you'll feel better!

1. Read, watch or listen to less financial press and commentary.

2. Accept that investing is always a two steps forwards, one step back journey.

3. Try not to dissect your portfolio statement line by line – look at the big picture.

4. Look at portfolio outcomes over the longest time frame you have available.

5. Remember that a fall in value is not a loss unless you sell.

6. Higher bond yields and lower equity prices point towards higher expected returns.

7. Attempting to jump in and out of markets is simply guesswork, and likely to be costly.

8. Place 2022 in the context of your multi-year, or even multi-decade, investment horizon.

9. Keep your eyes on the prize of building future purchasing power over the longer term.

10. Keep the faith – stay invested.
