Personalised Investment Planning in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and Toowoomba

What Are Your Goals?

Start by setting your investment goals. Since each investment will vary in its potential for risk and returns, you need to choose the right investments to help you achieve your goals:

• Short-term goals – Like saving to pay for a car or holiday in the next six months to two years.
• Medium-term goals – What you want to achieve in the next two to five years, like buying a home or starting a business.
• Long-term goals – If your goal is more than five years away, like saving for a child’s education or planning for retirement.

Investment Strategies

As a potential investor, you can be exposed to many investment promotions every day. That’s why it’s important to understand the basics of investment strategies. 

These include principles like diversification and dollar cost averaging, designed to help your investments work to achieve your goals.

Choosing the Right Investment Option

Invest some time in making the right choices.

Once you’ve put some thought into your short, medium, or long term investment goals, it’s time to look into your investment options. Certain types of investments, or asset classes, may help you reach your goals in a way that suits you.

When considering different investments, consider some key points.

Your Risk Tolerance

Your risk tolerance is affected by two key factors: the amount of time you have to invest and your attitude to risk.

It’s true that every investment involves some risk, but some are generally more unpredictable or volatile than others.

If you have a long-term goal, you may have time to ride through the market’s ups and downs and thereby even out the impact of risk on your investment.

On the other hand, if your goal is short-term, you may choose to take a more conservative approach, because you won’t have the luxury of time.

But if you’re comfortable taking risks and you have big investment goals, you may decide to invest in options with a higher risk profile. If you’re a conservative investor, you’re likely to prefer safer investment options, even over the long term.

The Type of Investment

Your risk tolerance will influence the type of investments you make:

• Cash (savings accounts, term deposits) – Lower risk, possibly low returns
• Fixed income (bonds, debentures) – Lower risk, investments can be linked to inflation rate
• Property (residential, commercial or industrial) – Moderate to higher risk
• Equities (shares) – Higher risk due to numerous economic and global factors

The easiest way to access the investments listed above is via a managed fund. In a managed fund, your money is pooled with that of many investors and invested across a range of asset classes and managed by a trustee or professional fund manager.
