Russia-Ukraine crisis

[Nix32]

What are the implications for savings in investment funds? Should savings just be left where they are?

Mine have tanked
But everything I read says to leave them alone and ride it out

Just checked one DC Pension and it has lost around 10% in 4 days! I also changed it to a very low risk fund as well!

Absolute blood bath today, unless you need it now, turn off the computer and stay invested.

Leave it well alone and ignore if you can. I do feel for people collecting pensions etc, I'm only at the start of making investments so this is a long term game for me. I'm thinking about removing my apps so I can't easily check things on my phone as it makes me more nervous even though everything I've read says hold firm.

I live off my pension investments and I discussed this with my advisor last month. Am going to try not to look and just ride it out.

I've lost about 10% in the last month or so. I'm just going to ride it out , not much else I can do except hope it goes back up .

I have seen other people on other forums say they are going to plough a load of money in but I'm not that brave

Invest in potatoes - to plant in the garden - Russia and Ukraine provide a third of the worlds grain. I can see shortages of bread and pasta.

I have put extra money in but not absolutely loads, £5k of the children's savings that were in cash I've put into a S&S ISA but that's really long term savings for them. I've got mixed feelings really, buying at a slump in the market is often advised but I don't want to be profiteering from the suffering of the poor people of Ukraine. But I am concerned as to the seemingly inevitable financial crisis deepening if people panic and withdraw their money so want to counter that as much as I can.

This.

Mine rose by £8k on Friday so maybe the shock of the war is stabalising although I'm still massively down overall . I'm drip feeding in every month because high street savings rates are so low inflation will erode them anyway .

Continue dripping in as usual. You want to invest during lows to bulk your recovery.
