The Wrong Question: Can You Control the Market?

A question investors often ask is, “What can I do during a drawdown?” The reality is, individual investors can’t control the market. Fluctuations will happen, and downturns are inevitable. But instead of focusing on what’s out of your control, a more important question is: What is your advisor doing to help you navigate market fluctuations?

Are they communicating clearly, educating you on risk, and guiding your expectations? Even more critically—are they implementing strategies to help minimize your downside risk in the first place?
