When focusing on the performance of the MSCI World Index in the past 20 years, we find that the deeper the market correction, the greater the rebound in the subsequent rising cycle and in average, the MSCI World Index rose about 80%.
The MSCI World index has dropped nearly 30% from its high since the beginning of this year. When the market will bottom out is hard to predict as we do not have a crystal ball. It may depend on various factors including tensions between Russia and Ukraine, inflation, the pace of interest rate hikes of global central banks, and China’s epidemic prevention policy. Volatility is here, but investment opportunity may be ahead. Under current market situation, investors may consider starting a regular investment strategy without guessing the best market timing as well as accumulating more investment positions when market corrections happen. In the future, if investment markets enter upward cycle again, such simple investment strategy may bring an attractive return to investors.
