WEALTH CREATION :Considerations when building your investment portfolio.
Loading player...
The importance of saving and investing from a young age cannot be emphasised enough, yet people are scared to start saving or investing – if not leave it to later in life, which is not always the best option.
Your investment decisions must centre around your investment goals. Samukelo Zwane, Head of Product, FNB Wealth and Investments says that “When we invest, we must consider what we are trying to achieve before making that investment decision. A listed company’s strategy is built around where that company wants to go and how they are going to achieve this. Investment strategy is no different. Understanding where we want to go first, makes selecting the investment vehicle much simpler”.
Investing from a young age not only allows wealth to grow but allows investment and savings knowledge to develop. Financial and investment education is key in unlocking sustainable returns into adulthood and being able to identify new opportunities in the market. Time is an exceptionally important asset in the investment world, and one the youth need to capitalise on. The more time we have, the higher the probability of short-term bouts of volatility being overcome in the market and consistent returns achieved.
