Why we believe bear markets
are the best time to invest

“

When hamburgers go down in price, we sing the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ in the Buffett household.

When hamburgers go up in price, we weep. For most people, it’s the same with everything in life they will be buying – except stocks.

When stocks go down and you can get more for your money, people don’t like them anymore.”

Warren Buffett

We don’t track burger prices, but Pendal investment managers are closely monitoring markets for emerging opportunities right now.

Just as burger fans love lower prices, equities investors should feel joy when they see lower price-to-earnings data.

This graph compares 50 years of P/E data in major markets to subsequent annualised five-year returns.

It shows that entering the market when P/Es are low has tended to result in higher future annualised returns (on average).

This chart shows big stockmarket falls are a potential opportunity to access positive future annualised returns.

It draws on a broad, 149-year S&P 500 data set to show equity returns following significant drawdowns in bear markets.

History tell us the odds of achieving very good returns can be skewed in your favour when investing during a bear market.
