Ups and downs, also known as market volatility, are to be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when you see the value of your investments dropping, it&#8217;s natural to feel anxious. In fact, more than half (55 percent) of RBC Wealth Management clients are concerned about investment losses, according to the 2023 RBC WealthPlan Survey. Those who don&#8217;t have a solid wealth plan in place may react out of panic and sell assets at a loss, leading them to miss out on potential future gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe markets are going to go where they&#8217;re going to go, but that doesn&#8217;t change an investor&#8217;s goal to retire or buy a boat or whatever they plan for their money,&#8221; says Brad Piermantier, head of Advisory Programs for RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cHaving a focused plan for investing gives clients something to aim for, despite volatility in the market. Without a plan, it&#8217;s easy to go off the rails and either chase performance or steer away from appropriate risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than giving in to knee-jerk reactions,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/wealth-planning-considerations-to-help-protect-your-portfolio-from-market-turbulence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take steps to develop a strong wealth plan<\/a> that includes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/three-strategies-to-combat-financial-uncertainty\">strategies for managing market fluctuations<\/a>. An experienced financial advisor can help you stay the course and remain focused on achieving your long-term investment goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-advisors-can-help\">How advisors can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When market volatility affects an investor&#8217;s portfolio, \u201cemotions run high,&#8221; says Piermantier. Working with a financial advisor can help&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/three-ways-to-avoid-making-emotionally-charged-financial-decisions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">temper those emotions<\/a>&nbsp;and help you view your portfolios through a logical, long-term lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During times of unpredictability, \u201cclients may check in with their advisors to see how their portfolios are doing in relation to their plan, and they might make adjustments as needed, but they&#8217;re staying invested and staying on track,&#8221; Piermantier says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategies-for-managing-through-volatility\">Strategies for managing through volatility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional advisory services are a valuable approach to building an \u201call-weather&#8221; portfolio through fee-based programs. You and your financial advisor can discuss the right course of action and leverage options to customize the investing experience to meet your unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are four strategies many advisors use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-review-your-asset-allocation\">1. Review your asset allocation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The largest contributor to the variability of a portfolio&#8217;s return over time is asset allocation, and a diversified mix can improve the risk-return profile. \u201cNo single investment will achieve a client&#8217;s goals,&#8221; says Piermantier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work with your advisor to make sure your portfolio&#8217;s allocation is right for your risk tolerance and long-term objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-rebalance-your-portfolio\">2. Rebalance your portfolio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving a portfolio untended can actually heighten risk and impact investors&#8217; ability to meet their goals. For example, a soaring stock market can throw your asset allocation out of balance, as gains from equities become a larger share of the portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s tough to walk away from potential high returns, a prudent move might be to rein in risk by shifting those equity gains into lower-performing assets. The resulting rebalanced portfolio can help limit exposure to future market volatility. Conversely, adding to equities after a sharp sell-off can be challenging if investors don&#8217;t have a course-correction plan in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your advisor can help implement a consistent methodology to address practical challenges such as timing of trades and mitigating tax liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-consider-harvesting-tax-losses\">3. Consider harvesting tax losses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tax-loss harvesting may reduce your tax bill by realizing losses to offset previously realized capital gains. For example, losses greater than $3,000 can be carried forward to apply against capital gains in future years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some risks associated with tax-loss harvesting, as securities with losses may represent holdings that diversify your investments, in which case removing them could change the makeup of your portfolio. An experienced financial advisor can make recommendations specific to your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-rbc-block rbc-block rbc-block-well rbc-block-small rbc-block-grey rbc-mid-page-cta has-block-grey-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading cta-title\" id=\"h-lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet\"><strong>Grow more than wealth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta-content\">Gain confidence and peace of mind with a strategic, personalized plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<a class=\"wp-block-button rbc-button-no-icon rbc-mid-page-button is-style-secondary rbc-button rbc-button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/find-an-advisor\">Find a financial advisor<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-maximize-sequence-of-returns-and-protect-your-portfolio-for-the-long-term\">4. Maximize sequence of returns and protect your portfolio for the long term<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your investments lose value, especially early in your retirement years, those poor returns can have a significant impact on how long your retirement savings will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you tap your portfolio as it&#8217;s decreasing in value, you have to sell more investments to raise a set amount of cash. Not only does that drain your savings more quickly, it also leaves fewer assets to generate growth and returns during potential future recoveries. This is known as the &#8220;sequence of returns.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid finding yourself in that situation, consider maintaining a short-term reserve of low-risk, liquid investments that you can use to cover your expenses during periods of loss, rather than selling stocks. You could also consider scaling back\u2014or even skipping\u2014a planned withdrawal. Avoiding the sale of investments when the market is down can potentially benefit your portfolio over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advantages-of-using-financial-advisory-services\">Advantages of using financial advisory services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are designed to be long-term relationships between you and your financial advisor, who will take the time to get to know you, understand your goals and answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;ll help you review your financial picture in light of changing circumstances\u2014both personal and market-driven\u2014and make adjustments as goals change across your investment lifecycle, including wealth accumulation, distributions in retirement and leaving a legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formulating a plan with the guidance of a financial advisor can help keep investors on track through the ups and downs of the markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":16194,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rbcwm_post_date":"","editor_notices":[],"rbc_url_alias":"","rbcwm_featured_desktop_image_position":"","rbcwm_featured_mobile_image_position":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[],"rbcwm_content_owner":[],"rbcwm_need":[463],"rbcwm_segment":[467,460],"rbcwm_solution":[465],"rbcwm_topic":[464],"rbcwm_channel":[],"rbcwm_format":[],"class_list":["post-16190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investing","rbcwm_need-protect","rbcwm_segment-business-owners-and-entrepreneurs","rbcwm_segment-individuals-and-families","rbcwm_solution-wealth-planning","rbcwm_topic-your-wealth"],"acf":{"rbcwm_subtitle":"Formulating a plan with the guidance of a financial advisor can help keep investors on track through the ups and downs of the markets.","rbcwm_post_author":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_text":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_link_url":"","rbcwm_disclaimers":{"add_disclosures":"","perspective_disclaimer":"","expandable":"","omit_from_pages":[],"disclaimer_footnote":"Asset allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss.\r\n\r\nRBC Wealth Management does not provide tax or legal advice.
