  • Warren Buffett's Perspective on Current FTSE 100 Market Decline
    March 23, 2026, 6:35 AM EDT. The FTSE 100 index fell 9.3% last week, dipping below 10,000 points, close to a technical correction of 10%, but far from a 20% crash. Despite short-term volatility, the index remains up 14% over the past year, surpassing long-term averages. Warren Buffett, who retired from Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, delivered a 19.7% average annual return from 1965, vastly outperforming the S&P 500. His approach emphasizes long-term investing, urging holding stocks for at least 10 years. The iShares Core FTSE 100 UCITS ETF, tracking the index with low fees, reflects the market's resilience over time, with dips like 2008 eventually overcome. Buffett's legacy suggests viewing current declines as buying opportunities rather than panic triggers.
