When the Stock Market Pulls Back, This Vanguard ETF Has Historically Recovered The Fastest
2026-03-09 11:17:17 ET
Investors haven't had to deal with many deep market corrections over the past two decades.
Since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, there was the 2018 mini-bear market that cut about 20% off the S&P 500 . But it was back to new highs within several months. The COVID pandemic sparked a bear-market drawdown of more than 30%, but it also surged back to new highs following trillions of dollars in government stimulus. The 2022 bear market was the lengthiest drawdown. It was the end of 2023 before the S&P 500 fully recovered. The "Liberation Day" correction turned out to be a quick blip.
The point is that investors don't have a lot of recent experience dealing with extended pullbacks. With fear beginning to creep in, there's a real possibility that the next one might not be far off if the economy slows.
