Successful Investing

A successful investment experience requires you to be an “investor” rather than a “speculator”.

Speculators
Speculators usually have a short-term horizon and are driven by short-term goals with the highest possible return. They may select a single stock or time a move out of one market and into another. Although they may be successful some of the time, this success is mostly just luck rather than skill.

Research shows that over the long term, this approach to investing will not deliver a consistent and reliable return.

Investors
Investors understand the components and structures present in financial markets and the way they interact with each other. Genuine investors will also invest their capital using strategies that have academic validation, which leads them to:

• Adopt a long term strategic asset allocation consistent with their risk profile
• Avoid predictions of future events and market timing strategies
• Diversify as widely as possible
• Be mindful of costs and taxes

Building long-term wealth doesn’t have to depend on individual guesswork or trying to pick stocks. It is about building a diversified portfolio based on risks that carry a reliable reward.
