Investing involves both risks and opportunities; Brexit is one of the risks for investors to consider in the current market environment. Some of the general risk factors include strategy, equity, credit, interest rates, liquidity and currency. Our ‘Investing through Volatile Times’ document provides an important context for investing and market volatility over the long term.
For example, diversification across different asset classes, geographical exposure, different managers and styles are sensible investment tools that are used by professional investors to navigate market volatility. Furthermore, some investors may use derivative instruments such as futures or options as protection strategies. With your financial adviser, you can determine the investment strategy and level of risk that is appropriate to your unique risk tolerance, goals, circumstances and time horizon.
