"Why invest? I'm better off saving"
We couldn't agree more - a consistent saving habit is the first step towards achieving your financial goals. However, accumulating wealth through savings is a slow process as current deposit rates are low. No doubt, investing comes with risk (read possible loss of capital!) but we believe understanding a few simple investment principles could steer you towards achieving your financials goals.
Understand the types of investment
Understand the different asset classes and their risk and return profiles.
Invest Regularly
Investing regularly can smooth out market highs and lows over time as this approach reduces the risk of investing a large amount in an asset class before an unexpected market downturn.
Build a Diversified Portfolio
Never put all your eggs in one basket - build a diversified portfolio. An old adage but still very relevant to investing today
Invest for the long-term
During downturns, it is tempting to move your investments to less risky asset classes. However, it is best to stay focused on your long-term investment plan as markets go through boom-bust cycles.
