The affect of Covid-19 is still being felt world-wide and financial markets have been volatile, as you would expect in times of uncertainty, with many sectors and funds being adversely impacted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Hamnett\nWealth Management, our investment philosophy has always been to look to the\nlong term. We have never attempted to predict the immediate path of the\nstock markets and we are not about to start now. Over the last 30 years,\nwe have witnessed several global crises. Each one different from the last.\nHowever, what we have learnt from all of them is to keep calm and endure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be those of you who want to \u2018do something\u2019 but often the best, and hardest, option is to do nothing. Whilst uncertainty can create anxiety, don\u2019t be tempted to make any rash decisions.\u00a0 We are in constant contact with the fund management groups and the over-riding sentiment that we are hearing is that Covid-19 will have an impact on all businesses \u2013 some more than others.\u00a0\u00a0 Therefore we are currently looking at the possibilities and focusing on those companies that can weather this storm and will continue to adjust our portfolios over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
