Market volatility is back in the headlines, and if you've noticed your pension balance moving up and down, you're not alone. From tariffs to geopolitical tensions, there's no shortage of reasons to feel uneasy. But before you rush to make any changes, it's worth understanding how volatility actually works and why, more often than not, staying put is the smartest move.
Join our host, Philippa Lamb, and VP Personal Finance at PensionBee, Maike Currie as they discuss:
what market volatility is and what drives it;
why pension pots are more resilient than you might think, and how quickly markets have historically recovered;
why keeping up contributions during a downturn can actually work in your favour; and
how to check whether you're in the right plan for your life stage.
