But this means keeping calm during periods of significant stock market volatility \u2013 and remembering that, as history shows, markets typically recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 90%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<hr><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>Download: A guide to investing<\/h5>\n<p>Learn how investing helps your money work harder in our jargon-free guide.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/a-guide-to-investing\">Download now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p> Here are four reasons why investing over the long term is the wisest strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-time-in-the-market-matters\">1. Time in the market matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the old investment adage goes, it\u2019s time in the market \u2013 not timing the market \u2013 which is key to returns. By delaying investing, or cashing in your investments early, you risk missing out on the best days in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The graph below shows how different asset classes have performed compared to cash. Any balanced portfolio consisting of a mix of stocks and bonds, for example, would have outstripped cash returns by a good margin over the long term. Of course, investing comes with more risk than holding your money in a cash account, your investments may lose as well as gain value, and there are fees to consider. The best way to preserve your portfolio over the long term is to diversify your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wealth manager can act as a sounding board during periods of stock market volatility and help you remain focused on your long-term financial goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2068\" height=\"1234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/wme\/uk\/Investing-longterm-96-25.png\" alt=\"Graph indicating why time in the market matters. Investments will grow over time with inflation.\" class=\"wp-image-44752\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: RBC Brewin Dolphin\/LSEG Datastream<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither simulated nor actual past performance are reliable indicators of future performance. Performance is quoted before charges which will reduce illustrated performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Compounding matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compounding is extremely powerful when it comes to investing. Albert Einstein described it as the eighth wonder of the world. It is, simply, earning returns on your returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, somebody earning a nominal return of 5% per year net of fees would see their investments grow by a compounded return of 63% after 10 years. After 20 years, this rises to 165%, and over 25 years, it balloons to 239%. This demonstrates the cumulative effects that compounding has on capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 90%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<hr><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>Get financial planning tips straight to your inbox<\/h5>\n<p>Sign up to our newsletter for expert insights on investing for the future, saving for retirement, passing on assets to the next generation, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/subscribe-to-our-newsletter\">Subscribe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Beating inflation matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflation can erode the real value of savings over time. If we assume for simplicity\u2019s sake that your money was earning no interest at all, then an inflation rate of 2.5% would reduce the real value of \u00a3100 to \u00a353.10 after 25 years, while an inflation rate of 5% would reduce it to just \u00a327.74.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2574\" height=\"1656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/wme\/uk\/Impact-of-inflation.png\" alt=\"Graph showing how inflation impacts the value of the dollar and how investing can aid in beating inflation.\" class=\"wp-image-44734\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: RBC Brewin Dolphin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For illustrative purposes only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are prepared to accept the risk that comes with investing, and have time on your side, you give your money the greatest chance of growing and beating inflation over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Risk matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spreading your money across different asset classes across the globe, including equities, bonds and cash, can help to reduce the impact of volatility on your investments\u2019 overall performance. This is because different assets tend to be negatively correlated, which means they will not usually react in the same way to sudden economic shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wealth manager can help you build a diversified portfolio of investments which suits your individual needs and risk appetite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more from our dedicated support team by calling us on 020 7246 1111.
