In this timely video, Dimensional demonstrates the valuable role advisers play by helping their clients stay disciplined and invested when markets are volatile.  

Tuning Out the Noise takes viewers on a journey through the "lost decade," featuring the media’s amplified coverage of headline events and pointing to the positive outcome that a disciplined investor could have experienced in the recovery.

If you have questions or simply wish to see how an adviser could help you stay disciplined, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We often send out commentary to our clients that we simply call: "Reality Checks."  They are designed to address an investors questions and concerns about a specific topic.  In essence, we hope to bring our clients back to reality before the financial media jumps onto the next so called "catastrophe."

As you can see, it is always something until it isn't.  Your long-term investment plan isn't concerned with the next "Apocalypse Du Jour", nor is it concerned with the daily headlines.  Your long-term investment plan is concerned with your goals and timeline; the rest is just noise.
