Assessing Where You are at
1:8:54 2023-11-06 703

1- Select an age-appropriate investment option. Your age will have a significant impact on your investment strategy.

  • Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more risk you can take. That's because you have more time to recover from a market downturn or loss of value in a particular investment. So, if you're in your 20s, you can allocate more of your portfolio to more aggressive investments (like growth-oriented and small-cap companies for example).
  • If you're nearing retirement, allocate more of your portfolio to less aggressive investments, like fixed-income, and large-cap value companies.

 


2- Understand your current financial situation. Be aware of how much disposable income you have available to invest. Take a look at your budget and determine how much money is left over for investments following your monthly expenses and after you have set aside an emergency fund equivalent to three to 6 months' worth of expenses.


3- Develop your risk profile. Your risk profile determines how much risk you're willing to take. Even if you're young, you might not want to take a lot of risks. You'll select your investments based on your risk profile.

  • Generally speaking, stocks are more volatile than bonds, and bank accounts (checking and savings accounts) are not volatile.
  • Remember, there are always risk trade-off's to be made. Often, when you take less risk, you make less. Investors are richly rewarded for taking significant risks, but they can also face steep losses.
