    At a guess, most funds won't reflect today's drops in the market until then.

    I know mine haven't reacted today.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    correct - seems like choppy times ahead and am not in a rush to invest - as am invested already.

    Only if you are a day trader. What happens in any one day is irrelevant for the majority of us on here who are invested for the long term.

    Even long term investors hold cash on occassions.
