In the wake of last Monday’s mass movement in global markets, prices have continued to plummet in response to the further announcement of Coronavirus-related news.

The world has been coming to terms with the implications of the coronavirus for some weeks now, but it was only towards the end of last month that we experienced the level of volatility we would expect in equity markets given a crisis of this scale.

In the midst of what has been an extraordinary period of market volatility, please see below a video update from our Chief Investment Officer, Phil Smeaton, in which he discusses what has happened in global investment markets of late, what it means for us as investors and why now is a bad time to panic.
