What happens if the market crashes?

Market fluctuations, including crashes, are a natural part of investing. Here’s how we handle such situations to protect your investments:

1. Portfolio Diversification: One of the fundamental ways we safeguard your investments is through diversification. By spreading your investments across various asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and other securities, we reduce the risk that a decline in any single market or sector will significantly impact your overall portfolio.
2. Long-Term Investment Strategies: Origin Invest is designed to focus on long-term investment goals. We understand that markets can be volatile in the short term, but historically, they have tended to increase in value over the long term. Sticking to a long-term strategy can help mitigate the impact of a market downturn.
3. Automatic Rebalancing: If market changes cause your portfolio to drift from its target allocation, Origin Invest automatically rebalances it. This means we sell overperforming assets and buy underperforming ones to maintain your portfolio's desired risk level. This process not only adheres to your investment strategy but can also take advantage of lower prices during a market downturn.
4. Steady Investment: During market lows, it might be tempting to sell, but our strategies often include continuing to invest consistently. This technique, known as dollar-cost averaging, can be beneficial in a volatile market by purchasing more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high.

By employing these strategies, we aim to not only protect but also potentially capitalize on opportunities presented by market fluctuations. Remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint, and maintaining a composed strategy during downturns is crucial.
