Investing your Money

Investing your Money

The world of investing can seem a bit daunting, particularly if you’re new to it. We aim to demystify some of the basics surrounding investing and give you some insight into how it works. We’ll talk you through your options and our four investment principles to help you make more of your money without taking any more risk than you’re comfortable with.

Setting Investment Goals

When creating a portfolio it is crucial to understand the amount of risk you are willing to take, and your investment objectives over the short, medium and long term, as this will determine the best type of asset mix, and ultimately the potential investment rewards they can expect to generate. Time horizon is also important – if you are saving for retirement for example, the closer you get to your goal the less risk you are likely to want to be exposed to! You don’t want your lump-sum fluctuating wildly just before retirement.
