A lot of people think investing means simply buying shares.
In reality, most investment portfolios are made up of a mix of different assets, such as:
• Cash
• Bonds
• Property
• Shares
• Commodities
Spreading investments across different areas can help manage risk and reduce reliance on one single market or sector.
Different mixes suit different people. Someone approaching retirement may invest very differently to someone investing for the next 25 years.
Good investing isn’t about chasing headlines. It’s about building a portfolio that fits your life and goals.
