Despite Trump’s chaotic tariff policies, long-term investors remain calm and collected. Indeed, according to Billionaire investor David Booth, who is the founder and chair of Dimensional Fund Advisors, his clients are focused on the big picture and aren’t panicking amid the market’s volatility. “What we have are clients that are really long-term investors… I’m in this for the long haul,” Booth told Yahoo Finance.
Booth’s approach to investing is based on his experience and education. His new documentary, Tune Out the Noise, takes a look at his career and the creation of Dimensional Fund Advisors, which now manages over $777 billion in assets. Booth’s investment strategy is built on discipline and a long-term perspective. This has helped his firm become a global leader in investment management.
Booth’s advice to investors is to tune out the noise and focus on the fundamentals. Indeed, he believes that markets are driven by buyers and sellers making informed decisions rather than by political parties or congressional leaders. By taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, investors can make more informed decisions and avoid getting caught up in short-term market fluctuations.
