Manage your investments

There are a few things to consider before you decide to sell your investments.

It’s normal for stock markets to react to fast-moving events. Staying focused on your long-term plans can help you avoid panic selling.

For example, if you consider selling when markets are low, that could mean you miss out on the market recovery that can often follow.

If you’ve chosen your own investments, you may be able to make some changes to your portfolio to make it more resilient.

If you’re still considering selling and your investments are held in a stocks & shares ISA, you could keep the cash sale proceeds in your un-invested cash account until you’re ready to invest again. This means the money would still retain the tax advantages associated with holding it in an ISA. But, your investment will also be out of the market and therefore won't benefit from any positive change in the market.
