What to Expect from an Investment Review

Simply put, we will review your investment ideas with you and your investment advisor and suggest the best structure to maximize your after-tax return. Remember, don’t ignore the impact of taxes on your investments.

The Magic of Compounding — A Fun Way of Looking at Investing 

If you could have one of the following as your pay for thirty days’ work, which would you choose?

(A) $10,000 or (B) a penny the first day, two cents the second day, four cents the third day, eight cents the fourth day, and so on, with each day doubling on out to 30 days. 

The $10,000 sounds very attractive, but the fact is that the penny doubled each day for 30 days adds up to over five million dollars. Of course, that is 100% interest compounded daily, a rate not available to most working folk. Nevertheless, you see the power of compounding your earnings.

How to Help Reduce Your Investment Worries

Investing can often feel like jumping into the deep end of a pool. To make the process less intimidating, we’ve compiled a few tips for you to keep in mind moving forward. Still uncertain? Simply give us a call and we’ll provide the answers you’re looking for!

Put aside some amount regularly in savings or other investments

The compounding of earnings can be substantial. The longer your investment period, the greater the beneficial effect of compounding.

Invest in what you know

The better informed you are, the better your investment decisions will be. If you don’t want to learn about investments, consider hiring a money manager and paying him or her to do your investing for you.

Diversify your investments

Have some of your money in an investment that is easily converted to cash in case of emergencies. The old adage “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is good advice when it comes to your investments.

Prepare an annual balance sheet

Basically, this will be a list of all your assets minus all your debts. This comparison of your annual balance sheets will reveal your success at growing your retirement funds.

Plan where you want to be financially by retirement age

Once you know how much you need to save, put your plan into action. Over 90% of Americans must rely on the government or others for assistance during retirement. With proper planning and diligence, you may be among those who can retire in comfort.

Don’t use credit to purchase consumption items

Wait until you can pay cash for things that decrease in value. Borrowing money to purchase a home is usually a sound idea.

Monitor your investments to maximize your after-tax return

The differences can be dramatic.

Have an annual review of your insurance needs done

Your insurance agent should perform a review of your insurance needs on an annual basis, at least. This way, you can determine if you are neither under- nor over-insured.
