I WANT TO BE A KNOWLEDGEABLE INVESTOR

Few things can have a greater impact on your financial future than making your money grow. Some investments have a slow and steady growth pattern. Others are more volatile, but with more growth potential. You have to find a balance that is comfortable for you. When you’ll need the money can also affect your investment choices.

1-5 years – Short term investing calls for maximum security, because you won’t have time to bounce back from a market downturn. Concentrate on guaranteed investment vehicles like bonds and Fixed Deposits.

6-10 years – Over the medium term, you’ll want a mix of investments, to benefit from the growth that stocks and mutual funds can offer, while not exposing yourself to too much risk.

11 or more years – When investing over the long term, you can afford more volatility, because you have time to ride out those periodic market storms. Balance is still important, though.
