Property is affected differently by stock market crashes depending on the underlying cause.
If the crash is caused a a generally awful economic situation then property prices tend to drop albeit there’s quite a lag and any drop is usually a lot less severe.
In this case, it’s been caused by an economically illiterate moron so if anything, property will be seen as a safe haven for money until markets are safe from his input. Added to likely reductions in interest rates and it is very unlikely to take any sort of caning, if anything, the reverse is true. Particularly given we live in a country where the fundamental issue is we don’t have anywhere near enough houses and you can’t build them very quickly.
Your pension is another matter. Although if you are close to retirement age, it shouldn’t be in risky assets to any extent. A policy followed by investors to protect against exactly this scenario. If you are some way from retirement it will come back up again as it’s entirely self inflicted and therefore can be reversed. Change of president should do it.
It’s all gone quiet about Ukraine. The orange man has got off on tariffs and the drama. It’ll be Greenland next. He’s a junkie for drama.I wonder if the deal with Ukraine for the rare earth and other minerals was anything to do with getting a lot more lithium for his mate Musk.
I retire two years November officially, my fund had dropped since the orange man came to power, its in a balanced fund, I'm still paying into it as well, not sure its worth it though, may be better stopping the direct debit just saving the moneyProperty is affected differently by stock market crashes depending on the underlying cause.

He's a lunatic and a loose cannon, especially with Vance and Musk in tow.It’s all gone quiet about Ukraine. The orange man has got off on tariffs and the drama. It’ll be Greenland next. He’s a junkie for drama.
