Don’t Listen to the Short-Term Noise: Guiding Clients Through Volatile Markets

Held: Wednesday, March 26, 2025

The only certainty in the market is that volatility is here to stay. Clients need to know that.

Back by popular demand, Don Connelly is presenting his powerful and timely annual volatility webinar, “Guiding Clients through Volatile Markets”. 

Volatility triggers uncertainty, and uncertainty breeds fear. When markets swing dramatically, people instinctively react as if they’re in danger—our brains are wired to avoid risk and loss, often causing us to make emotional decisions rather than rational ones. Additionally, the media amplifies short-term market moves, making every dip feel like a crisis and reinforcing the fear that investors should “do something” even when staying the course is often the best strategy.

If there’s one thing we can count on, it’s that the stock market will always be unpredictable. Prices will rise, fall, and sometimes swing wildly—but that isn’t a sign of something being broken. Volatility isn’t an anomaly; it’s a fundamental characteristic of the market, and understanding this reality is key to long-term investment success. So you need to be prepared to be in front of this discussion with your prospective and current clients.

This timely presentation will assist Advisors to create a story when talking with clients in the face of all this uncertainty.

During the presentation you will hear:

• The words you need to keep your clients focused on the destination, not the journey.
• The words needed to prevent clients from making bad decisions under emotional duress.
• The stories and analogies you need to explain to clients that, with the proper long-term perspective, volatility actually works in their favor because volatility drives market gains over time.
• Volatility analogies you need to master so that you can help your clients connect the dots.

This is a crucial and timely message your prospective and current clients need to hear from you.
