ADVICE

Set Specific Goals For Each Account

  • Define clear goals for each account using SMART criteria and assign a time horizon for each goal.
  • Use investor profile questionnaires to match goals to appropriate asset allocations and risk levels.
ADVICE

Match Risk Tolerance To Time Horizon

  • Determine your personal risk tolerance and capacity for volatility before picking investments.
  • Adjust risk as your time horizon shortens and avoid selling during market downturns if you need the money soon.
INSIGHT

  • True diversification means your holdings don't all move together during market cycles.
  • Holding only an S&P 500 fund diversifies stocks but doesn't diversify your overall portfolio across asset classes.
