With so many choices, picking the right investments can be overwhelming for even the most seasoned investor.
Instead of building your portfolio by picking stocks, start by deciding what mix of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds you want to hold.
This is more commonly known as asset allocation.
Asset allocation is the process of distributing your investments among the different classes of investment vehicles, such as stocks and bonds, or even real estate.
Experts agree that asset allocation is one of the most important decisions an investor makes because it emphasizes diversification, which is the practice of spreading money among different investments to reduce risk.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to figuring out your asset allocation because there are many factors to consider, such as risk tolerance and financial goals.
Remember that asset allocation is not a one-time event.
It's a lifelong process of fine-tuning.
