Should you stick, sell or buy after a crash?

Duncan Lamont, Schroders Head of Research and Analytics, joins the pod to discuss 148 years of stock market returns. He’s crunched the data to see what it tells us and what we can learn from the previous 11 crises that have occurred since the 1870s.

Stuart Podmore, part of the distribution team and behavioural finance specialist, also drops by to give his take on the psychological biases contributing to our investment making decisions during a crisis.
