The risk-return trade off means
that you must be aware of your
personal risk tolerance when
choosing investments for your
portfolio. Some asset classes
may be more risky than others
and you must be able to tolerate
that risk or lower your risk by
lowering return expectations.

Understanding volatility
7
“Investment markets by their own nature are
volatile. That’s why we always recommend
that investors seek professional financial
advice and are prepared to invest for the long-
term (ie five years or more) to ride out
periods of volatility. Investors who remain
focused on their investment approach despite
periods of volatility, have a greater chance of
achieving their goals.”
Dan FarmerChief Investment Officer

Rolling returns – Australian shares
Rolling returns are useful for examining the behaviour of returns for different periods. We can see the
volatility experienced over a one year period versus the smoother experience over a longer period of time.

Calendar year returns. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Many investors consider
changing asset classes to chase
the next return.
But as you can see, it’s very
difficult to predict which asset
class will perform strongest in
the following year.
This years winner may not
necessarily be next years.

Unfortunately markets are

can be sure.
What we can be certain
about however is that by
trying to time the market, you
could in fact miss out on

Smaller companies by their nature tend to outperform during periods when the market is rising and
underperform when the market is falling. Investors have the potential to be rewarded for riding out
periods of volatility.
