Investing in a Bear Market: Why Calm, Strategy, and Expert Guidance Matter
Published June 23, 2025

When markets drop and headlines turn red, panic often sets in. But at Vertis Wealth, we help clients navigate these downturns with clarity and confidence — not fear. Bear markets aren’t the end of your financial story; they’re just part of the journey.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Bear markets are normal. They occur when stocks drop 20% or more, but historically, they’ve been short-lived — lasting around 9–10 months on average.

  • Emotions can be costly. Acting on fear often means selling low. Our advisors help you stay focused on your long-term strategy.

  • Your plan still works. If your goals haven’t changed, your investment approach shouldn’t either.

  • Smart moves matter. We help you:

    • Focus on high-quality investments

    • Continue investing steadily through dollar-cost averaging

    • Diversify for protection

    • Rebalance when needed — not reactively

The Bottom Line:
Bear markets test patience, but they also reveal opportunity. The clients who stay steady — and stay advised — often come out stronger.
