Stick to Your Plan
Most stock market gains are achieved shortly after a bear
market

This chart shows how major indices performed from the bottom of the 08/09 Financial Crises, March 9, 2009, over the next 3+ years. You
can see once a bottom had been reached the market reacts swiftly and positively. It’s important to stick to the plan you and your advisor
have designed as leaving the market could cause you to miss out on large gains.
Missing out on large gains makes it very difficult to break-even and achieve the long-term return required to meet your financial goals.

The case for diversification

It is nearly impossible to predict what class will generate the highest returns in any given year. Investors benefit from
diversification and reduce their risk by allocating to a variety of asset classes. A strong financial plan will incorporate
investments into different asset classes that react differently to ensure investors reduce their overall risk.
