The Fundamentals of Being a Successful Investor

Managing investment expenses is crucial to preserve and grow your portfolio's value. While predicting specific outcomes is impossible, understanding the risks and opportunities associated with your investments can help you make well-informed decisions.

As an investor, you are your own chief investment officer, responsible for your own strategy and results.

If you choose to work with an advisor, it's essential to have a clear understanding of the costs involved and the measurable value that the advisor can provide.

Keep in mind that you can implement your strategies using low-cost options such as exchange-traded funds and no-load mutual funds. Ensure that your chosen advisor meets your expectations and adds value to your investment journey.

All investors have access to efficient, low-cost, diversified, or concentrated investment vehicles and custody arrangements.

While the stock market has provided the highest long-term probability of preserving purchasing power after inflation and taxes, it's important not to attempt to time the market.

Instead, focus on assessing the probabilities of portfolio advances and declines over shorter periods to avoid reacting to short-term fluctuations that may impact long-term results.
