Volatility is almost always associated with losing value. Although that’s true for those investors that willfully liquidate their holdings, long‐term investors have historically seen tremendous benefits from times of equity market stress, as depicted by the FTSE All World Equity Index. By recognizing the natural and healthy cycle of volatility, and accepting its frequency and potential magnitude, investors have the ability to acquire equity exposure at a discount. By employing objectivity and rational analysis, volatility has the ability to enhance long‐term returns.
