In the swirl of commentary post Federal Budget and the continued spotlight on rising living costs and interest rates, it's a timely reminder for investors to tune out the noise and stay focused on the factors and behaviours they can control.
In this week's Smart Investing, we take a look at what's next for bond markets and why fixed income allocations remain a worthy component of every portfolio. We also discuss investment behaviours (such as market timing) that could negatively impact returns and why having a clear investment plan helps investors avoid knee-jerk reactions to market swings. Lastly, we include a piece by Jumana Saleheen, Vanguard Europe's Chief Economist, that gives an overview of what's currently happening in the U.K. economy.
