Investment philosophy

Diversification is a strategy that reduces risk by allocating investments across various financial instruments, industries, and other categories. One of the keys to successful investing is learning how to balance your comfort level with risk against your time horizon.

Investing your retirement savings too conservatively at a young age can expose you to investments not growing at the same pace as inflation and/or investments not growing to an amount you need to retire with.

Conversely, if you invest too aggressively when you’re older, you could leave your savings exposed to market volatility which could have a detrimental effect on the value of your savings at a time when you have few opportunities to recover any losses.

The key to successful long-term financial planning is to review your circumstances on a regular basis. Reassess your goals and objectives on a regular basis, especially when a new life experience presents itself. The birth of a child/grandchild, etc.

Reviewing your goals/objectives, adding to your investments, and adjusting the risk profile of your strategy to match your current circumstances are the ingredients for a successful outcome.
