Having survived multiple market crises in our investment journey since 2001, we know what works and what won’t work.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, co-host Isaac sits down with CEO Christopher Tan to unpack why saying “stay invested” without the right context might actually do investors a disservice.
They explore whether it’s better to be a pessimist or an optimist during uncertain times like today’s ongoing trade tensions, and how to approach the “money equation” — balancing short-term financial planning on the left, with long-term investment decisions on the right.
Chris and Isaac also touch on how mental well-being plays a vital role in financial decision-making, especially when markets are volatile. For those nearing retirement, they discuss whether it may be time to approach things differently to protect both your financial future and peace of mind.
Tune in to the full episode for a grounded and thoughtful take on navigating uncertainty with clarity, focused on your non-negotiable life goals.
