The Value of an Advice+ Plan
Although it’s impossible to predict when the next upward or downward spike in the market will happen, having a financial plan can help you ride out the volatility. A Scotiabank advisor can provide valuable perspective and help you stay focused and on track to meeting your long-term goals.
The Big Picture
Going as far back as the 1930s, markets have had their fair share of ups and downs, with political, economic and financial events driving short-term movements. During this time, investors have had many excuses for not investing. However, by maintaining a long-term perspective, you can let time work to your advantage.
Take the guesswork out of when to invest
Instead of fearing a market correction, consider viewing it as a buying opportunity. Investing in regular increments through a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan not only helps to eliminate the guess work of when to buy, it’s a convenient and simple way to save without even thinking about it.
Investing, simplified
Building and managing an investment portfolio is more challenging than ever.
