U.S. BANKN.A., AS TRUSTEE,
ON BEHALF OF THE J.P. MOR-
Time: A key element of investing
Special to the Ledger
Who knows where
the time goes? We’ve
reached the end of
another year, so it’s
appropriate to reflect on
the nature of time and
how it affects us. And
time certainly is a key
element in the pursuit of
your financial goals.
As an investor, time
can be your greatest
ally. If you hold some
investments for the long
term, you could achieve
an impressive cumu
lative growth in value.
Furthermore, if you
keep adding shares to
these investments, possi
bly through a dividend
reinvestment plan, you
could attain “growth
on growth” through the
power of compounding.
Of course, when you
own equity investments,
you will experience
market fluctuations, but
in general, the longer
you hold these invest
ments, the more you
can reduce the effects of
market volatility.
But you also need to
consider aspects of time
in these contexts:
Checking progress
on achieving goals -
When you establish a
goal, such as saving for
a child’s education or
your own retirement,
you know the
end date of when
you’ll need the
money, but it’s
also important
to mark your
progress along
the way. So, each
year, see how
far along you are
in meeting your
goal. If you’re
falling behind, you may
need to adjust your
investment mix.
Choosing an appro
priate strategy - The
time needed to achieve
a goal should drive your
investment strategy for
that goal. For example,
when you are saving for
a retirement that won’t
happen for three or four
decades, you will need
to invest for growth by
placing a reasonable
percentage of equities
and equity-based invest
ments in your portfolio,
based on your comfort
with the various types of
risk, including interest
rate risk, credit risk and
market risk. You will
experience some bumps
along the way — keep
in mind that the value
of investments will
fluctuate and the loss
of some or all principal
is possible —
but you likely
have time to
overcome the
“down” peri
ods. On the
other hand,
when you are
saving for a
short-term
goal, such as a
vacation or a
new car or a wedding,
you’ll want a set amount
of money available
precisely when you
need it. In this case, you
may need to sacrifice
some growth potential
for investments whose
principal value won’t
fluctuate, such as certif
icates of deposit (CDs)
and bonds.
Keep in mind, though,
that when you’re in
vesting for long- and
short-term goals, it
doesn’t have to be just
one strategy or the other.
You can save for retire
ment with primarily
growth vehicles but still
have room in your port
folio for shorter-term
instruments. And even
when you’re specifical
ly investing for some
short-term goal, you
can’t forget about your
need to save and invest
for retirement.
And here’s one final
point about the rela
tionship between time
and investing: Your risk
tolerance can, and prob
ably will, change over
the years. As you near
retirement, you may feel
the need to adjust your
portfolio toward a more
conservative approach.
That’s because you may
want to consolidate any
gains you might have
achieved while also
recognizing that you
simply have less time to
bounce back from down
markets. Still, even in
retirement, you’ll need
some growth potential
in your portfolio to
help you stay ahead of
inflation.
When you invest, one
of your biggest consider
ations is time — so use
it wisely.
