Small Caps

 In this week’s video insight, I discuss how the pandemic reshaped investor behaviour, leading to riskier trading and poor market timing, as highlighted by Derek Horstmeyer, a finance professor at George Mason University in the U.S. Many investors lost billions annually due to panic-driven decisions, emphasising the importance of a long-term approach. I discussed the importance of viewing markets as opportunities to invest in real businesses rather than speculating and underscored that long-term strategies outperform attempts at timing the market, as evidenced by the Montgomery Small Companies Fund’s returns over the last two years.
