Endowment maturing in 1 month. Global events have ruined it.

My personal pension has dropped near 7% of late. Fortunately, I don't need it so it can just sit there and hopefully recover. Swings and roundabouts as said, it's earned at an average of around 5% over that last 20 years so I'm not complaining.

Of as much concern to me at the moment is the exchange rate to Euros as my pensions are in sterling.

One point I don't recall having been made is diversification.
Hopefully it can reduce troughs (unfortunately peaks too) but primarily it means you can pick and choose what to withdraw from at any given time.

As above I have an endowment that was on track to pay out around £25k. After checking it for the last 2 days it has gone down in value by £750 a day. £1500 in two days. I cannot tell you how badly timed my maturity date is. Even if I cash it in it takes a few days and who knows what it will be worth then.

Fuming.

If my maturity date was just a couple of months ago I'd be in gravy with it.

It should be pretty much back to its original value now Salty? Has it matured?

^^ Over 15% disappeared off my main pension pot when Trump let loose on tariffs.

That’s now back to within approx 5%. But still a huge chunk of change to recover as yet…..

Tracking mine. It went down by just over 10%, its now just back over pre-trumptarrifs by 0.01%

Similar.
Mine is managed and they appear to be doing a decent job of it.

Yes it matured on more than I expected.
