How much have you lost in recent crash?

[belnding]

Just looked at my pensions and investments- not updated properly since Feb.

I’m down £15k. Pretty disappointed as I’ve been paying into pension and investments every month.

had just got a handle on things and was watching incremental growth each month.

obviously well aware stock market can go down as well as up- just not nice to see my own money being wiped out, when I could have just kept it in a savings account instead 😖

About 120k at the peak of the loss. However I just see this as a good time to buy as it is “on sale”. Losses are now at about 40k. I have a high risk portfolio so this is to be expected. Growth has been about 12.6% annual for last decade average so have to be able to weather some paperwork losses. It is only a loss if you panic and take your money out. I have invested 23.5k so far this year (good bonus) and will continue to continue every pay period.

My pension pot has nose dived…..I wish I hadn’t looked, hope it will recover….

Yes. Sell the investment, transfer the proceeds to a British bank account.

Anything more complicated than that you need bespoke help and not posts on a forum.

No idea, I never open my monthly statements 😁. Think I’d rather not know!

What do they say? More millionaires are made in a falling market than a rising market! 👍

Yeah stop reading any statements and only worry about the price at the point you want to cash in. Long term it’ll go up, there will be bumps in the road. If you’re not needing to sell at that point it’s irrelevant.

About 15% but then gained back a few percent. Made me feel a bit sick when I first saw how much

It’s sort of hard to tell as I’ve put 2 lump sums in since feb, one before one after the tariff announcement.

as of today I’m down £45k. It was much worse in mid April… at that point loss was about £75k

I was just going to make this point. Mine dipped far more around Covid/Liz Truss than they have this year. In fact I only got back up to 2020 levels at the end of last year!

Lost about 8% on £90k pot. I'm still a couple of decades away from having to worry about it but it is still rather annoying.

On the brightside, my provider did a Profit Share that added a grand total of £2.20 to my pot.

The highest valuation of my main pension was £677K, lowest it dropped to was £522K but has been up and down over the last few weeks and now at £582K.

My other pension is invested differently and not something I can control by switching investments and that has remained at £160K.

Annoyingly I finally got around to opening a S&S ISA shortly before this happened, it's gone down around £5k out of £80k so about 6%, but presumably will recover.

I need to decide where to put this year's £20k and whether to buy in now or stick it in a fixed rate cash ISA.

Nothing thankfully as I switched all my holdings out of equities when Trump started talking about tariffs. Then when the markets crashes I switched most of it back and also added more into my ISA 's so I was buying units really cheap

Unless you only invested everything in the last 6-9 months, you haven’t ‘lost’ anything. I’m still 18% up from 2023 and 4.7% over the last 12 months.
Markets are gradually rising again but I think we’ll see plenty of volatility over the next few years.

Total on paper loss of around £45k. Pensions currently down 2%, ISAs down 6% Hoping for market to go down again as it is so overpriced and I am reluctant to invest at present.
