The share market appears to be volatile and is always moving up and down based on investor sentiment, the general mood of society and the economic outlook—domestically and internationally. It is this daily movement that concerns and unnerves many people.

This movement and perhaps a major share market correction will happen to you in your investing life on the share market. You can almost be certain of that. It will also happen when you least expect it. It’s the way you react to a downward movement in a share market that is important—it’s part of being an educated investor.

At this time, the savvy, single-minded investor is going to realise that when the share market begins to fall the market is on sale and it’s time to go shopping. There are bargains to be had amongst all those quality industrial shares.

Understandably buying your own portfolio of shares is not for everyone. You may not have time to study individual shares or you may prefer not to have the worry of maintaining a portfolio. Choosing your shares and direct share investing is not for everyone.

These investors like to seek professional help when buying shares and the easiest way to do this is through a fund manager using a managed fund.
