Stick to your goals and ignore the noise around you: that’s the crux of our advice. When things are changing we know there can be a temptation “to do something” but our view is to remember your objectives and hold your nerve – and that’s somewhat inspired by legendary investor Warren Buffett.
“To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual
business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual
framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that
framework”
Warren Buffett
We are also influenced by a well-known institutional investor Jeremy Grantham. At the core of his approach, and at the heart of his long-built reputation, is identifying speculative financial market “bubbles” and being aware what the impact of these “bubbles” have on the investment conditions.
