09.01.2022 For those looking to take advantage of the lower stock prices and are trying to time the market. https://www.afr.com//drip-feed-buying-beats-waiting-for-th It’s been a wild ride on global sharemarkets in the past few weeks after some significant falls. We’re living in turbulent times again and when investment markets are volatile, logic can go out of the window.... For many Australians, superannuation is their largest asset after the family home. But it must be remembered that super is an investment vehicle, not an asset class. Regardless of whether the investment is in a super fund or outside it, it’s what the investments are in cash, shares, property that determines whether wealth goes up or down. Super does not lose an investor money. During periods of market instability, investors may feel that super is no longer their best option and stop or reduce their voluntary contributions. However, we know it’s an investment for the long term and short-term volatility can be a good time to top up super. After all, investors would be buying assets that are now cheaper and, unless they are just about to retire, they have years (maybe decades) for the market to move back in their favour. Volatility leads to anxiety and it’s easy for investors to rationalise the need to "wait and see". Some wait for the bottom of the market. Others wait until "confidence" returns before investing. Ironically, even when markets recover, many investors wait for the market to fall again in the hope of picking up "bargains". These investment approaches are flawed as they can create "investor paralysis" and the delay in investing may mean investors don’t take part in the benefits of markets that inevitably recover. Albert Einstein is purported to have said that compound interest is man’s greatest invention. Whether or not he said it, there is no doubting the incredible growth potential of an investment when "interest on interest" is earned over a long period of time. We must find ways to manage our emotions to achieve our long-term goals. One powerful way to do that is "dollar-cost averaging" making regular deposits into an investment at regular intervals over a period of time. Importantly, this can reduce the risk of investing during times of market volatility. It also helps avoid the pitfalls of trying to "time" entry into markets. Dollar-cost averaging overcomes "investor paralysis’ by giving the opportunity to build exposure to growth assets in a disciplined way.
