Ellevest - What’s going on with the markets?

Hi there,

We know how stressful it can be to see the stock market drop. On Monday, investor nerves about last week’s interest rate hikes sent the S&P 500 tumbling to its lowest level so far this year. But we’re here to remind you that, most of the time, the best time to invest is yesterday.

When the market’s down, your dollars will get you more shares of stock. (That’s why you might hear people say that the markets are “on sale.”) So if you stop investing or wait until things look “better,” you’re more likely to miss out on potential returns.

Here at Ellevest, we monitor your investment portfolio and automatically rebalance it back to its recommended target whenever market volatility occurs. So you can feel confident your money is working for you and your long-term goals.
