Is the worst over?

This is Jeff Wareham, ScotiaMcLeod Wealth Advisor, with some thoughts for investors outgrowing their mutual funds.

Another major concern that has haunted global markets disappeared last night, as the Americans selected their next president.

Volatility has dropped to a one month low, credit markets are getting a bit better, and global markets surged yesterday. Is the worst over? Perhaps, but Scotia released research yesterday forecasting further volatility, and a possible retest of our recent lows over the next few months. It may be tempting to rush back into the market, but a carefully constructed portfolio is your best bet moving forward. Opportunity abounds in the market, but prudence is the key.

Now is the perfect time to ask “have you outgrown your mutual funds?”
