IFSA moves to allay market concerns

The industry association will use its membership base to calm investor fears about market turmoil.

The Investment and Financial Services Association (IFSA) has teamed up with Morningstar to provide information to retail investors on the current market volatility.

The four-page document is aimed at easing investor concerns about the market correction.

"When markets are volatile it is important that people stand back and look at the lessons learnt from previous market downturns. This is why we decided to re-publish the document," IFSA chief executive Richard Gilbert told InvestorDaily.

The information outlines four lessons from the market - market cycles, risk diversification, timing and saving early and regularly.

The document will be distributed to more than 143 IFSA members. Collectively, IFSA members manage $1.3 trillion on behalf of 10 million Australians.
 
"When panic sets in people need to take a pragmatic view of their circumstances. This document will do just that," Gilbert said.
