Investments

Investing should be easy – just buy low and sell high – but most of us have trouble following that simple advice. One of the biggest misconceptions about securing your financial future is that you have to be a financial genius.

Another is that investing requires you to be a multi-millionaire. In actually, you just have to educate yourself, craft a plan and stick to it. There are principles and strategies that may enable you to put together an investment portfolio that reflects your risk tolerance, time horizon, and goals. Understanding these principles and strategies can help you avoid some of the pitfalls that snare some investors.

WHAT IS INVESTING?

Investing is the proactive use of your money to make more money, or the act of putting your money to work for you. While it does involve some risk and could lead to loss of principal (the amount you invested), investing offer a range of options that can offer some comfort to even the most conservative investors. It is important to work with an advisor who explains the risks and what steps you can take to mitigate them.

Choosing an appropriate investment mix is contingent on factors such as you time horizon (the length of time until you need to sell your investments and use funds) and your risk tolerance, which is determined by varying factors such as age, income and circumstance. Generally, a relatively short time horizon calls for a more conservative approach, while long-term investments allow more aggessive investing to take place. 

We will work with you to develop the appropriate mix of investment vehicles based on these factors and your overall financial situation. Choosing someone to help you with your investments is one of the most important investment decisions you will ever make. You, on the other hand, can remain focused on your career or business and family.
