A practical way to get started
Before choosing an investment, take time to understand your objective, investment horizon, liquidity needs, diversification, costs, and the possibility of losing some or all of the money invested.
Define the goal
Identify what you are saving or investing for and when you expect to need the funds.
Consider risk and time horizon
Different investments can behave differently over short and long periods.
Build diversification
Consider how different asset classes can work together rather than relying on one investment.
Review regularly
Financial goals and circumstances can change, so review your strategy as needed.
