⬆️ The most common question I receive during my free consults, or in my Facebook group 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣!
HERE are the 7 Questions you need to answer when taking more control over your investments.
🔥 Be a confident investor by answering these 7 confidently!
1. What is the intention of the money? You will invest it differently depending on what you plan to USE the money for in the future.
2. What is your risk tolerance and timeline? These are the two basics every investor should know, regardless of where you invest.
3. What is your investor profile and desired asset allocation? Should your retirement funds have an equity, growth, or balanced allocation? Understand the difference between equity and fixed income.
4. What platform is the best fit for this money for you? Decide what balance of service versus fees is your sweet spot for value.
5. What brand of that platform works best for you? Evaluate all, not just the popular ones.
6. Do you understand the tax implications of all of the account types? You need to, so you can choose whether to invest in your RRSP or TFSA or FHSA. Think lifetime taxes, not just refund in April!
7. Lastly, now you can choose the funds! Align it with the intention, asset allocation, and the right platform and account.
These questions progress from the most broad to the most detailed. Start with the big picture and narrow down to choosing investments.
⚠️Don’t do it backwards! And for goodness sake, do not just say “I want to move to Wealthsimple because of the promo” and not recognize that Wealthsimple is a brand with both roboadvisor and discount brokerage!
Clarity in these answers should provide you confidence in your investing strategy. 💃 This should not change frequently.
You will learn a lot by researching the answers to these 7 questions! If you’re overwhelmed, I teach ALL of this LIVE in my group coaching “𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿.” ✨The wait list for Cohort 16 open now!✨
