 | | Hi everyone, Welcome back to our first edition of Smart Investing for 2022. I'd like to start off by extending another thank you to those who completed our reader survey last year. You provided us with a wealth of valuable feedback and suggestions, and we look forward to using these insights to shape our content going forward so that we can best support you on your investment journey. Turning our minds to this new year, we've already seen global investment markets be rocked by threats of inflation, continued COVID uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. It'd be perfectly reasonable for even experienced investors to feel anxious about all this volatility. As such, in this week's Smart Investing, Senior Personal Finance Writer Tony Kaye and Vanguard's Chief Investment Officer Greg Davis hope to allay some of these worries by revisiting time-tested investment principles and a look at what history can teach us about market turbulence. We also examine what else is in store for markets in 2022, and how a broadly diversified portfolio can help to weather any storm. Regards, | | 
Robin Bowerman
Head of Corporate Affairs
