Time-Tested Investment Principles

It’s not when, but if you invest that counts

While it’s good to be aware of market cycles that could impact performance of your investments, it’s important to know that  it’s not when you invest, but if you invest at all that can translate into potential success in your portfolio over time.

 

It’s time in the market, not market timing

It’s impossible to predict the future—even the most sophisticated investors cannot time the movement of their investments. For this reason, it’s important to stay invested.

 

Maintain a long-term perspective

Evidence suggests that stocks can help build wealth over time.

 

Put time on your side—start investing today

The more time you have until you reach retirement, the more opportunity your portfolio has to grow. Even if you have a shorter investment horizon, you can make strides to grow your wealth.

 

Save—every dollar counts

Take advantage of market fluctuations—without worrying about timing your transactions—by making consistent contributions to your portfolio. By implementing a dollar cost averaging strategy, you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high, generally resulting in a lower average cost per share.

 

Diversify your portfolio—spread your money across a variety of investments

The old saying “don’t put all of your eggs in one basket” rings true when it comes to investing. A properly diversified portfolio should include a range of asset classes from both the U.S. and abroad: equities of different sectors and capitalizations; bonds with varying maturities; and even cash instruments like money markets.
