INFOGRAPHIC: COVID-19 market sell-off

The Coronavirus sell-off has left many investors wondering if equity markets will ever recover. While the full financial impact of the pandemic will only be revealed over time, a closer look at previous market sell-offs reveal two important factors: 1.) markets have historically always recovered from financial crises; and 2.) the recovery periods present fantastic opportunities for investors to maximise their investment returns.

So perhaps the better question is not “if” markets will recover, but rather “when” markets will recover? And when they do, did you place your portfolio in a position to benefit from the recovery?
