What can you expect from markets over the medium term?

Equity and bond markets have lost ground this year, but are they at or near the bottom?

And what investment strategies should you be using right now to maximise your long-term returns?

They’re burning questions for all investors as volatility continues to impact markets.

Watch Vanguard’s Global Chief Investment Officer Greg Davis, and Global Chief Economist and Head of the Investment Strategy Group Joe Davis, answer these and other questions in the video below.

Key points covered:

  • The factors driving the current investment conditions and what you can expect over the next 12 to 18 months.
  • The average difference in long-term historical returns between investors who stay invested during downturns and those that try and time when to buy and sell.
  • Why the pairing of stocks and bonds remains a powerful asset class combination for investors over the long term.
