Market crashes don’t just test portfolios, they test investors. In this video, we walk through a real-world example from the 2008 financial crisis and compare how different portfolios performed during both the downturn and the recovery.
Using a Fidelity study, we compare an all-stock portfolio, a diversified portfolio, and an all-cash portfolio from the peak of the market through the recovery. We break down not only the actual returns, but also how volatility affects investor behavior during stressful market environments.
The key lesson isn’t just about performance, it’s about staying invested. We discuss how diversification can reduce volatility, make downturns easier to tolerate, and help investors avoid emotional decisions that can hurt long-term outcomes.
