“Hold tight. Super is for the long-term”

    Global headlines are all reporting on significant share market declines due to President Trump's unexpectedly high tariffs.

    AMP’s Chief Investment Officer, Anna Shelley shares her perspective for our super and pension members. Anna’s strong message is to hold tight.

    Super is for the long-term so it’s important to hold a big picture mindset.

    Things to keep in mind during turbulent times

    Volatility is normal

    Share market pullbacks are healthy and normal. Their volatility is the price we pay for the higher returns they provide over the long-term.

    Think long-term

    It’s very hard to time market moves, so the key is to stick to an appropriate long-term investment strategy.

    Dial down market noise

    To avoid getting thrown off a long-term strategy, it’s best to dial down the noise around all the negative news flow.
