    Which Investment is Best for You?

    There’s no single answer to this question - it all depends upon your individual needs and circumstances.

    Whilst there is a broad range of investments available, (within the scope of products/platforms that our planners can recommend) selecting the best option can be difficult.

    Your choice of investments should be consistent with:

    • your short, medium and long term goals;
    • your current financial position; and
    • the level of investment risk you’re prepared to accept.

    You’ll also need to consider:
    • security - how secure will your money be?;
    • liquidity - how readily accessible will your money be?;
    • estimated returns - what results can you expect?;
    • resistance to inflation - will your investment grow at a faster rate than inflation?;
    • impact of tax - what percentage will the “taxman” get?;
    • social security implications - how will it affect your eligibility?; and
    • investment horizon – for how many years are you planning to invest?

    Your choice of investments should be guided by a strategic financial plan, not by instinct or rumours of “an outstanding investment opportunity”.

    Investing without a strategy has been likened to building a house without an architect’s plans. At best, the end result will be unsatisfactory; at worst it will be worthless.

    That’s why it’s imperative to seek professional advice. A financial planner can help you design an investment portfolio (a collection of investments) to suit your needs.
