Watch: Harry Smith on the market’s initial reaction to the Middle East conflict and what history suggests may come next.

We are closely monitoring global events and how this impacts our funds and there are sure to be headlines about KiwiSaver balances in the coming days.

It’s important to remember that while headlines on geopolitical issues can drive short term sentiment, investing is a long-term game, and the biggest driver of a company’s share price is its earnings.

If you’re feeling wobbly or uncertain it’s important to check in with a financial advisor, or your Managed Fund or KiwiSaver provider before you make any changes.
