What is long-term investing?
Long term investing is the act of buying and holding assets over an extended period, instead of trying to take profit from small, short-term market movements. Although never guaranteed, the goal is to benefit from compound growth, and the upward trend of the market overtime whilst riding out shorter-term market volatility.* It’s often driven by big picture financial goals such as retirement or buying a house and requires a long-term view instead of reacting to market news.
*Please note that financial markets are volatile and there’s a chance they could fall in value and you could lose money.
