What Types of Investments Should You Choose? Answers to Your Most Common Retirement Questions

One of the most common retirement questions we’ll address in this video is, what types of investments should you choose? You should base your investment choices on your retirement investing strategy and your investment time horizon—the amount of time you need your money to last in retirement. When creating an investing strategy, many people make the mistake of reacting to current market developments instead of sticking to a consistent plan—leaving them open to unnecessary investment risk. Out of fear of market volatility, some investors also stick to traditional conservative investing—meaning relying on fixed income investments such as bonds. Investing conservatively isn’t necessarily the best investing solution—as it could increase your risk of running out of money in retirement. Instead, when creating a well-planned investment strategy, you should determine the asset allocation—the mix of stocks, bonds, cash and other securities—appropriate for your retirement goals and time horizon. This may mean owning more stocks than you may initially expect to grow your portfolio or keep up with your spending and inflation over time. Determining an asset allocation strategy appropriate for your financial goals can help you stick with your investments for the long term. We hope this video helps you create a retirement plan built to last.
