Growing Your Wealth: What You Should Know about Investment Management & Planning
Do you spend a lot of time thinking about your investment accounts? Most people don’t. You have probably set up automated contributions, which leaves you free to do other things. Actually, your assets in your portfolio will perform better if you spend time on planning and managing your investments. Of course, you don’t have to do this yourself. In fact, a financial advisor is much better equipped for the job.
Investment management involves regularly tracking the performance of your assets, rebalancing your portfolio, and aligning your objectives and timelines with the different investment products. Even if you regularly invest half of your money in stocks and the other half in mutual funds, the portfolio will become unbalanced overtime. Stocks and bonds can fluctuate in value. As a result, your portfolio may no longer align with your risk tolerance or objectives.
Why You Should Make Investment Management a Priority
Investment management isn’t just about balancing your assets to keep your risk tolerance steady. It’s also about keeping your assets diversified without investing too much in any one industry or company. Most people don’t even understand the connections between all the different businesses, let alone how many of your assets are tied up in each of them.
As your wealth grows, it’s just as important to maintain and preserve your wealth as to grow it further. Depending on your objectives, you may decide to keep some of your assets as liquid capital. Whether you want to retire early, invest in a new business, or fund another dream, it’s good practice to plan ahead. Don’t wait until retirement to evaluate your investment strategy. Instead, I recommend scheduling regular reviews of your finances to prevent surprises.
Examples of Investment Management & Planning
There are different paths to building wealth. Which ones you choose depends on your goal. Here are some examples of investment management accounts:
- Retirement accounts
- Education plans for your child
- Mutual funds to save for an event, such as a child’s wedding
- Investment accounts to build generational wealth
- Trust funds as part of an estate plan
Investment planning doesn’t just involve buying and selling assets. A good financial advisor will also talk to you about mitigating risk and insuring your assets to protect your hard-earned money.
