Client’s Portfolio Critique

Ever wondered how your portfolio would hold up under the scrutiny of professional money managers? Well, one brave listener asked whether it would be possible to give his self-managed portfolio a careful on-air critique. Today we give our unbiased critique of that portfolio and how the big life transitions facing this client in the next few years will influence his decision-making. 

It is so important to always understand that the markets reward investors for taking on inherent risks and volatility over longer periods of time. So, the focus for you as an investor needs to be long-term. Your emotional reactions to current events should never affect your portfolio or how you make decisions. Remember, today’s investment world is dynamic and complex, challenging even the more experienced investors. This is why it’s extremely important to keep your target in sight and stay the course regardless of how the markets behave.
