Recessions have been relatively small blips in economic history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Over the last 70 years, the U.S. has been in an official recession less than 15% of all months.
\n\u2022 Moreover, the net longer term economic impact of most recessions has been relatively small.<\/p>\n

Recessions are painful, but expansions have been powerful<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources:<\/strong> Capital Group, National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Refinitiv Datastream. Chart data is latest available as of 5\/31\/22 and shown on a logarithmic scale. The expansion that began in 2020 is still considered current as of 5\/31\/22, and is not included in the average expansion summary statistics. Since NBER announces recession start and end months, rather than exact dates, we have used month-end dates as a proxy for calculations of jobs added. Nearest quarter-end values used for GDP growth rates.<\/p>\n

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fear the bear<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Over the last 70 years, bear markets have been relatively short with limited losses when compared to the powerful bull markets that have followed.
\n\u2022 Aggressive market-timing moves during a downturn, such as shifting an entire portfolio into cash, can backfire.<\/p>\n

Bear markets have been relatively short compared to bull markets<\/strong><\/p>\n
