Is Today's Volatility 'Normal'?

Is Today's Volatility 'Normal'?

As we routinely conduct portfolio reviews, there are two words that seem to come up regularly - Trump and volatility. Leaving President Trump out of the conversation, we do address the heightened volatility we are experiencing in 2019.
The attached video, featuring Luc de la Durantaye, Chief Investment Strategist at CIBC Asset Management, comments on market volatility and whether this is simply "normal" at this stage of the market cycle. He suggests two things to mitigate the effect of volatility; portfolio diversification and active management.
The Smith Falconer Financial Group agrees and employs both in on-going portfolio management.

When the 'roller coaster ride' feels uncomfortable, we encourage you to reach out to us. We will review your portfolios and highlight the features that allow us to take advantage of the 'gyrations of the day.' We believe that armed with the right information, remaining invested will reward.



Very best regards,

CIBC Wood Gundy
