Whilst there is always something happening around the world that feels like its in turmoil, when it comes to investing, do not let events cloud your judgement of investing for your own goals.  We cannot ‘wait for things to settle’ as they never will, so just investing and leaving your money to grow for your future is what you can control.  This slide demonstrates the power of letting the markets do what they do, and seeing the growth happen over the long term through all types of crisis.  Think about your future, and how long you are potentially going to live and need your investments to work for you, irrespective of what is happening in the world around us.
