Cycles, not crises: keeping perspective through the volatility

Periods of market uncertainty can feel uncomfortable, particularly when headlines amplify negative sentiment. In this short video, Zagga CEO, Alan Greenstein shares his perspective on why the current environment should be viewed through the lens of a market cycle rather than a systemic crisis.

Key points

  • Market corrections are a normal part of investing​: Today’s environment is characterised by adjustment and re-pricing rather than the systemic risk, widespread distress and liquidity constraints typically associated with a crisis.
  • Discipline matters most during periods of uncertainty: Successful investing requires selectivity, active management and a focus on fundamentals – backing the right asset, with the right sponsor, in the right market, at the right price.
  • Opportunity remains in real estate private credit: Despite a more challenging operating environment, strong enquiry volumes and long-term housing supply constraints continue to support opportunities for disciplined investors.
  • Focus on long-term outcomes: Preserving capital, maintaining investment discipline and remaining focused on long-term objectives are critical when navigating market cycles.

Watch the video below to hear Alan’s perspective on the current market environment, the lessons learned from previous cycles, and why maintaining perspective can be one of the most valuable tools available to investors.
