The report also illustrates the impact of globally diversified portfolios and features a quarterly topic: When Headlines Worry You, Bank on Investment Principles
"On Friday, March 10, regulators took control of Silicon Valley Bank as a run on the bank unfolded. Two days later, regulators took control of a second lender, Signature Bank. With increasing anxiety, many investors are eyeing their portfolios for exposure to these and other regional banks.
Rather than rummaging through your portfolio looking for trouble when headlines make you anxious, turn instead to your investment plan. Hopefully, your plan is designed with your long-term goals in mind and is based on principles that you can stick with, given your personal risk tolerances. While every investor's plan is a bit different, ignoring headlines and focusing on the following time-tested principles may help you avoid making shortsighted missteps."
