There are three things investors need to do in the\u00a0aftermath of the UK\u2019s decision to leave the European Union, affirms the boss of one of the world\u2019s largest independent financial advisory organizations.<\/p>\n

Nigel Green, founder and CEO of deVere Group, which has $10bn under advice,\u00a0states: \u201cBritain\u2019s decision to drop the Brexit bomb and abandon its four decades of EU membership has, of course, been fuelling turbulence in the global financial markets since even before the outcome was officially announced this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst a backdrop of reeling markets and uncertainty, individual investors are, understandably, feeling nervous about their future financial security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Green continues: \u201cThere are three things that investors need to do now as we enter into a new era.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, for the vast majority of investors the message is clear:\u00a0Keep calm and carry on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Hasty decisions are typically not the wisest ones.\u00a0 There remains too much uncertainty around at the moment to take strong bets on any particular asset class, sector or region.<\/p>

\u201cThe market volatility may indeed be an indicator of storm clouds ahead, but equally, and perhaps even more likely, it will present a positive buying opportunity. But we need to wait for the fog to lift a little first.<\/p>\n

\u201cA buy-and-hold strategy of quality multi-asset funds is as valid a strategy today as it has ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond,\u00a0focus on the longer term<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, the political landscape has changed overnight, but your financial objectives have not.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarkets are, by their very nature, turbulent but stock market performance is fairly predictable over the longer-term \u2013 they usually go up.\u00a0 For this reason, investing in equities is recognised globally as one of the optimum ways to accumulate wealth over long periods.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll too often even experienced investors focus on the short term too heavily in times of market volatility of the kind we are now seeing, and there are many disadvantages to this.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, a short-term investment strategy involves considerably higher risks, compared to investing over a longer period.\u00a0 Other pitfalls of a short horizon include that investors can often sell a quality investment too early due to over focusing on short-term valuation metrics.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd third,\u00a0keep an eye on other important geopolitical factors<\/strong>\u00a0that will influence markets and therefore impact your finances. These include China\u2019s economic growth, the possibility of Brexit contagion as other countries seek to exit the EU, the U.S. election, the failure of negative interest rates in Japan and the Eurozone to stimulate sustainable recovery, and the Fed\u2019s nervousness over the U.S. economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Green earlier concluded: \u201cIn these times of increased volatility, a good fund manager will prove to be invaluable to help capitalise on the enormous opportunities that will be coming along and to sidestep the risks.\u201d<\/p>\n
