THE year began amid a raging bull market. Global equities have made up all the post-pandemic losses and are up 83 per cent (as at April 7, 2021) since their March 2020 lows.
Yet, our data shows many investors have missed the bull run altogether or are significantly under-invested, waiting for the "right" opportunity to re-enter. Those who did stay invested through the volatility or re-entered the market in 2020 have a slightly different problem ("Should I sell?").
It is safe to say that most of us belong to one of these categories. History shows there are time-tested methods to deal with these challenges and earn a respectable return over the long term.
