Although this is perfectly natural, it is more important to focus on your long-term goals than attempt to work out the \u2018right\u2019 or \u2018wrong\u2019 time to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No-one knows whether a market downturn is around the corner. Yet history shows that, over time, markets tend to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-2\">\n<h5 class=\"text-align-center\"><\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"252\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/holding_your_nerve_icon.png\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"wp-image-1339\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">\n<h3 class=\"mt-1 mb-1\">Holding your nerve<\/h3>\n<p>When markets are falling, you might be tempted to cash in rather than endure more falls. But while this is a natural inclination, doing so only serves to crystallise losses.<\/p>\n<p>Although periods of volatility are worrying, they can sometimes present opportunities for investors. For example,&nbsp;sell-offs could offer the chance to buy shares in businesses at cheaper valuations. And the sooner you start&nbsp;investing, the sooner you have time on your side to produce potential long-term returns.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-2\">\n<h5 class=\"text-align-center\"><\/h5><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"219\" height=\"188\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/calendar_icon.png\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"wp-image-1340\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-sm-10\">\n<h3 class=\"mt-1 mb-1\">Time in the market<\/h3>\n<p>As the old investment adage goes, it\u2019s about time in the market \u2013 not timing the market. This means&nbsp;committing your money to the markets and leaving it invested \u2013 for at least five years, ideally longer \u2013 rather&nbsp;than waiting for what you might perceive to be the best time to invest. The longer you invest, the greater&nbsp;your potential for making a profit. It doesn\u2019t typically pay to hold off on an investment decision if you\u2019ve got&nbsp;time on your side.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it\u2019s impossible to know when the bottom of the market will be reached. There are plenty of factors&nbsp;that will impact this, and there might be further short-term pain. Yet trying to time the market, or cashing in,&nbsp;risks missing out on some of the market\u2019s best days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The effect of missing the market\u2019s best days on a \u20ac10,000 investment over three decades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1046\" height=\"688\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/Is_now_a_good_time_to_invest_graph.png\" alt=\"graph\" class=\"wp-image-1341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/Is_now_a_good_time_to_invest_graph.png 1046w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/Is_now_a_good_time_to_invest_graph.png?resize=300,197 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/Is_now_a_good_time_to_invest_graph.png?resize=768,505 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2023\/10\/Is_now_a_good_time_to_invest_graph.png?resize=1024,674 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1046px) 100vw, 1046px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Brewin Dolphin \/ Refinitiv Datastream<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returns are total returns of the FTSE All Share Index over the period 1 May 1989 to 29 November 2021 based on a \u20ac10,000 initial investment, with the assumption that all dividends paid out are reinvested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Warning: These figures are estimates only.
