What Happens to Stocks After a Recession?
As an investor, it would be understandable to abandon ship and sell off equities because of perceptions of a recession and its impact. However, history tells us another story. Dimensional Fund Advisor’s Q2 market report shares data covering the last 15 recessions in the U.S in the past century. Across the two years that follow a recession’s beginning, equities have had a history of positive performance and investors tended to be rewarded for sticking with stocks.
