to pay attention to details, and that's
helped, and my diverse background,

themselves to that."

*Many investors end up doing just the opposite or selling individual securities and even
mutual funds at the wrong time. They buy in . _" em frenzy, when prices are at their weak,
and are left holding the bag when prices fall. Or they sell when prices are low and remain ori the
sidelines when they rebound.
Investors who try to jump in and opt of major ash groups -such as stocks and bonds -make
similar mistaken. For example, when stocks are falling they may wait too long before making an
exit, missing out on rebounding prices later. When they move back into stocks, theybuy at higher
prices. All of this can be cosdy to investment returns by,redud ng profits or magnifying losses. So
what's the alternative?
For most moors, a buy -and -hold strategy works much better. By investing for the long-term
and ignoring short-term fluctuations you stand a better chance of making respectable long-term
investment profits and become less concerned with market volatility. The best long-term buy -
and -hold strategy is achieved through effective asset allocation. Including a mix of asset types in
your portfolio means you can tailor investments to reflect your financial goals, take advantage of
a wide range of opportunities, and provide protection against market swings. Because nobody
knows in advance when one asset class will outperform, it's best to be invested in all sectors at all
times. A balanced portfolio lets you take advantage of upturns in prices, at the same time offering
protection against a decline in any one asset lass. For example, while growth investments such
as stocks are on the wane, income investments such as bonds may outperform.
Yqu can diversify *ming asset dasses through investments in individual securities or
mutual funds. A portfolio of mutual funds is easily diversified bylnvesting in different fund
categories -such as equity, bond, balanced and money-market funds. There lino ideal asset mix
for everyone. It depends on your goals, tolerance for risk and other factors. Your mix will also be
affected by your age. When you're young you should focus more on growth, moving toward more
conservative assets that help preserve capital when you're older: But no matter what your stage of
life, your portfolio should remain diversified.
Haw do you make sure your asset mix is appropriate? Work with your financial advisor: A
professional can help you assess your current portfolio, decide on a suitable asset allocation
strategy for your needs and goals, and help you invest accordingly.
