Event: Chamber Webinar – How the stock market reacted to the Coronavirus pandemic and other crises

A fascinating 30-minute whistle-stop tour of how the stock markets have reacted to the coronavirus pandemic. We’ll consider what recovery of the markets might look like with one eye on trends from past crises.

We’ll also look at some common mistakes investors make when facing market fluctuations – and, more importantly, how you can avoid making the same mistakes! If you’ve been wondering whether there’s any up-side to all this for investors, Ralph Hunt from Face to Face Finance will share some expert tips on making the most of the current situation and answer any of your questions.

The webinar will cover the following: 

• Current market conditions and how this compares to other historic financial events
• Difference between Active, Passive and Tracker funds
• The mistakes investors tend to make – buy high sell low, time in the market not timing the market
• Example of how much you could have if an investment was made and held compared to missing a handful of the best days because of timing.
• How to benefit from the current situation
