View investement allocations advice and best practices
Proper allocation of your investment is the first step towards achieving your targets.Your investment allocation includes a percentage of equities or equity mutual funds and a percentage of lower investment risk products such as bonds, bond funds and Money Market products.
The basic investment approach for generating retirement capital is that the older you are, the less investment risk you may undertake. This means a greater percentage of conservative investment products as you approach retirement.
The earlier you start investing, the better. To generate long term capital gains, you should be able to assume more investment risk and therefore, you should have a long horizon in front of you. For someone beginning their investment at the age of 20, and seeking to retire at 65, it would be wise to restructure their portfolio at 35 to include a smaller percentage of equities and equity funds. In this way, one can protect their capital gains, acquiring a balanced portfolio.
However, age is not the only factor one should take into account in investment allocation process. Protecting your capital is very important for the retirement period and the more you depend on the profits generated the more conservative your portfolio should be during this period. However, depending on the added value you have generated, it may be suitable for you to invest part of your gains in a more growth-oriented portfolio. If you have the financial ability to invest in higher investment risk areas, the extra gain can offer you an additional monthly source of income during your retirement.
