3 principles to guide investors 

August slipped away. Summer has been a lot, but in all, the S&P 500 is up +8% since the start of June (and +17% so far this year), despite the similar surge in bond yields.

Investors seem to be more focused on a brighter outlook ahead. Optimism around a “soft landing” for the U.S. economy has been growing, inflation is cooling, some of the heat is coming out of the labor market, corporate earnings have been solid, and firms are focusing more on the future with investments around AI, infrastructure and the like. Nonetheless, the volatility reminds us that risks remain—around the knock-on effects of higher rates, debt dynamics, China, and the list goes on.

So after a summer of market swings, it’s important for investors to remain focused on what matters. Predicting where the market might be headed can be complex and overwhelming, but the real key to investing can be as simple as having perspective and sticking to your plan.

Today, we want to step back and share three of our favorite investing principles to guide us through the end of the year and beyond.

1. Know your toolkit: Each asset has a role to play

If you’re building a house (or an IKEA bookshelf), you need different tools to get the job done. Your portfolio is no different. Whether it’s cash, stocks, bonds or alternative investments, each asset has a distinct role to play—and they work together to achieve your long-term goals.

Equities and fixed income have outperformed cash and inflation over time

Sources: Bloomberg Finance L.P., J.P. Morgan 2023 Long-term Capital Market Assumptions (LTCMAs). Global equities represented by MSCI World USD Total Return Index, Core fixed income by Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Treasury Bills by Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bill 1-3 months Index, Inflation by U.S. Headline Consumer Price Index (CPI). Data as of July 31, 2023. LTCMA projections as of September 30, 2022.
This chart shows that equities and fixed income have outperformed cash and inflation. The data, which depicts the growth of $100 in global equities, core fixed income, Treasury bills, inflation and the LTCMA projection from 1991. This shows that global equities and fixed income are significantly over the projected performance of the rest, with dollar values of ~$1,000 and ~$400 as of 7/31/2023, respectively, and continue to widen the gap in projected years. For the Global Equities line, it started at $100 in 1992, and increased to $283 in 2000. It then decreased to $193 in 2003. It increased to $401 in 2007, but then decreased to 221 in 2009. It increased and peaked at $1023 in early 2022. Then it came down and troughed at $763 in September 2022, before increasing again to $996 in July 2023. For the Core Fixed Income line, it also started at $100 in 1992 and exhibited steady growth to $286 in 2009. The line continued to grow in this fashion and peaked in 2021 at $460 before decreasing slightly to $416 in 2023. For the Treasury Bills, the line started at $100 in 1992 and increased steadily, seen at $190 in 2009. It continued to increase through 2021 at ~$205, at which point the Inflation line crossed over it. For the Inflation line, it started at $100 in 1992 and steadily increased to 154 in 2008. It then increased to coincide with the Treasury Bills line in 2021 at $205. From that point onward (into the projected years), the Inflation line was above the Treasury Bills line. The LTCMA Projection for each of the above lines are as follows: - The Global Equities line starts at $996 in 2023 and increases to $2,371 in 2034. - The Core Fixed Income line starts at $416 in 2023 and increases to $682 in 2034. - The Treasury Bills line starts at $218 in 2023 and increases to $268 in 2034. - The Inflation line starts at $220 in 2023 and increases to $284 in 2034.

Cash: Everyone needs it—from paying for your morning cup of coffee to your down payment on that house. Many also often think of cash as a safe haven, or when interest rates are high, as a source of income. But because of inflation, cash comes with a cost. This means that while cash is a critical part of just living life, it’s also important to think about how much you really need to hold, and what can be invested to achieve other goals. For instance, over the last 30 years, cash and short-term Treasury bills have barely kept the pace with overall inflation, and have failed to keep up with the cost of important goods and services such as gasoline, medical care and education.

Stocks: Owning equity means owning a stake in a company and its future. So when you own stocks, you tend to benefit from earnings growth as well as the dividends companies pay to reward you for being a shareholder. For instance, since 1991, earnings and dividends have contributed over 97% of the cumulative 2,470% return for the S&P 500, with changes in valuation driving just under 3% of that total return. Over time, equities can provide the highest expected return and drive capital appreciation for your portfolio, but they also come with higher volatility.

Bonds: Fixed income provides stability. Because bonds offer you coupon payments over time, in addition to returning your initial loan amount, they help to reduce uncertainty and volatility in your portfolio. The risk is that the issuer does not pay you back, but defaults are exceedingly rare for investment grade debt (over 10 year periods, default rates have averaged around 2% for corporate bonds and less than 0.1% for municipal bonds). Overall, fixed income should deliver higher total returns than cash or inflation. It should also provide lower volatility than equities, but the potential for material capital appreciation is also lower.

Alternatives: Hedge funds, private equity, real estate and other real assets can provide beneficial characteristics to portfolios. Adding alternatives can potentially increase returns while reducing volatility—but they also might come with the cost of locking up your money for longer.

In all, each has a role to play, and diversification across asset classes is the key to consistent returns.

2. Volatility is normal: Don’t let it derail your plans

Investors should expect pullbacks—both big ones like 2022’s rout (which was the worst for U.S. stocks since the Global Financial Crisis), and small ones like we felt during March’s bank stress or this month’s summer dip.

But despite these selloffs, stock markets have rewarded long-term investors. The S&P 500 has suffered an average intra-year pullback of -14% over the past four decades, with 16 of those 44 years seeing even steeper losses. Yet the full-year return was positive in 33 of 44 years (75% of the time).

Despite intra-year swings, stocks tend to reward long-term investors

Source: FactSet, Standard & Poor’s, J.P. Morgan Asset Management - Guide to the Markets. Returns are based on price index only and do not include dividends. Intra-year drops refer to the largest market drops from a peak to a trough during the calendar year. Annual returns shown are calendar year returns from 1980 to present year, which is year-to-date. Data as of August 30, 2023.
This chart shows how stocks tend to reward long-term investors by showing S&P 500 intra-year declines (max drawdowns) and calendar-year returns. The bars represent the calendar-year returns. 1980: 25 1981: -10 1982: 16 1983: 17 1984: 0 1985: 26 1986: 17 1987: 0 1988: 13 1989: 26 1990: -6 1991: 24 1992: 8 1993: 7 1994: -2 1995: 33 1996: 23 1997: 26 1998: 30 1999: 18 2000: -9 2001: -13 2002: -24 2003: 27 2004: 9 2005: 4 2006: 13 2007: 3 2008: -41 2009: 30 2010: 12 2011: -1 2012: 13 2013: 30 2014: 14 2015: -1 2016: 8 2017: 19 2018: -7 2019: 30 2020: 15 2021: 22 2022: -20 2023: 17 The dots represent the S&P 500 intra-year declines (max drawdowns) 1980: -17 1981: -18 1982: -15 1983: -7 1984: -13 1985: -8 1986: -9 1987: -34 1988: -8 1989: -8 1990: -20 1991: -6 1992: -6 1993: -5 1994: -9 1995: -3 1996: -8 1997: -11 1998: -19 1999: -12 2000: -17 2001: -30 2002: -34 2003: -14 2004: -8 2005: -7 2006: -8 2007: -10 2008: -47 2009: -28 2010: -16 2011: -19 2012: -10 2013: -6 2014: -7 2015: -12 2016: -8 2017: -3 2018: -20 2019: -7 2020: -34 2021: -5 2022: -24 2023: -8 There is also a “YTD” note and an arrow from that note pointing to the last bar, which is at 17 for the current year 2023.

So while the “risk” for stocks is volatility, the reward comes with the “return” of long-term capital appreciation.

3. Maintain a long-run mindset

Over the short term, assets have a wide range of possible outcomes. Over the long term, we believe the possibilities are much more certain, offering the chance to recoup losses and continue building your wealth. 

For example: While the return over any given 12-month period has been as low as -41% and as high as +60%, a blend of stocks and bonds has not suffered an annualized negative return over any five-year rolling period throughout the past 70 years.*

Range of stock, bond, and blended total returns

Sources: Barclays, FactSet, Federal Reserve, Robert Shiller, Strategas/Ibbotson, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Returns shown are rolling monthly returns from 1950 to 2022. Stocks represent the S&P 500 Shiller Composite, and Bonds represent Strategas/Ibbotson government bonds and corporate bonds for periods from 1950 to 2017, then the average of Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Total Return Index and Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Total Return index from 2017 to 2022. 50/50 portfolio is rebalanced monthly and assumes no cost. Analysis is based on the J.P. Morgan Guide to the Markets – Principles for Successful Long-term Investing. *Actual worst 5-year rolling return of hypothetical 50/50 portfolio: -0.068%. Data as of December 31, 2022.
In each scenario, it shows the maximum and minimum annualized returns in that specific timeframe. For a 1-year period, it shows that for stocks, the maximum return is 60%, while the minimum is -41%; for bonds, the maximum return is 39%, while the minimum is -15%; and for a 50/50 portfolio, the maximum return is 47%, while the minimum is -21%. For a 5-year period, it shows that for stocks, the maximum return is 30%, while the minimum is -6%; for bonds, the maximum return is 22%, while the minimum is 0%; and for a 50/50 portfolio, the maximum return is 23%, while the minimum is 0%. For a 10-year period, it shows that for stocks, the maximum return is 21%, while the minimum is -4%; for bonds, the maximum return is 15%, while the minimum is 1%; and for a 50/50 portfolio, the maximum return is 17%, while the minimum is 0%. For a 20-year period, it shows that for stocks, the maximum return is 18%, while the minimum is 5%; for bonds, the maximum return is 12%, while the minimum is 2%; and for a 50/50 portfolio, the maximum return is 14%, while the minimum is 5%.

So even though markets can always have a bad day, week, month or even year, history suggests investors are less likely to suffer losses over longer periods—especially in a diversified portfolio. But that said, keep the time horizon of your goals in mind. If you need the money in a year, you should have a very different portfolio than if you don’t need the money for 20 years.

Above all, make a plan with intent

Often, one simple question is the most important and hardest to answer: What is the purpose of your wealth?

Do you need cash to feel comfortable? Do you need to invest in assets that boost your income? Are you more concerned with building wealth for future generations?

The things we want to do with money—our goals—are at the root of why we invest in the first place. Principles like the ones above can help increase the probability that investors achieve those goals.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio's investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
