We invest your portfolio in equities for the long-run growth of your investment. Equity markets historically have provided investors with more dollars in their accounts than when they invested, over long time periods (10+ years). In order to achieve that growth, however, you have to be willing to stomach ups and downs in the value of your investment, called “volatility”.
