I have some very conservative investments, mostly mutual funds. What will happen to them in a deep recession?

I have some mutual funds which are made up of very conservative investments - nothing too risky. Over the past few decades this fund has done nothing but grow slowly. Sometimes it goes down a bit, sometimes it spikes a bit, but overall it shows a pattern of growth, which is great.

What will happen to these investments if we go into a bad recession?

Will they decrease in value a lot?

Should I try and head this off by changing my portfolio? Or just ride it out?

Thanks!

When discussing mutual funds, who opposes what John Bogle and bogleheads believe? What is their argument?

I’ve read a lot about what John Bogle preaches and believes as far as investing in mutual funds go. However, what do his pundits say? What’s the opposite opinion?
