Given the current market volatility driven by ongoing uncertainty, you may be feeling uneasy. I’d like to share some important insights from our CIBC partners that helps explain the current situation: Navigating US policy dynamics.

I also want to reassure you that market volatility is a normal part of investing. Although uneven market behaviour can be unsettling at times, volatility also presents opportunities. For example, while stock markets have performed poorly over the past few days, bonds have helped provide portfolio stability. This demonstrates the value of your diversified portfolio that we designed to align with your personal goals and objectives. It’s important to put recent market performance in perspective. While equity markets have declined from their all-time highs, the retreat only takes the market back to June 2024 levels.

Keep in mind that your best interests are our top priority. Uneven markets mean my team and I are working hard to help ensure you remain on track to reach your goals.

Please reach out if you have any questions about market volatility and how it may impact your portfolio. We are here to support you and your financial goals.
