Stay Invested

By holding on to your investments for the long term – five years or more –  you can benefit from generally higher long term interest rates, long term market trends and growth.

Markets and interest rates are always moving in one direction or another. This day-to-day market volatility is normal, and generally should not be used to make buying and selling decisions. In most cases, it is better to stay invested for the long term. Otherwise you risk incorrectly forecasting interest rate movements and not being invested during market highs, which can have a significant impact on the return on your investment.
