We strongly advise you discuss your plans to withdraw your investment with your financial adviser, so you are fully aware of the consequences of doing so. For some investments, such as pensions, the decision to withdraw cannot be reversed. You may also incur tax charges that may be higher than you are expecting.
During this time of economic uncertainty, it is important to remember the basic principles of long-term investing remain unchanged and in particular that short-term falls do not necessarily impact long-term goals.
The document ‘Investing Through Volatile Times’ from our investment business, Quilter Investors, takes you through some of the key principles of investing.
