How you should invest through different life stages
Start with a higher proportion of growth stocks when you are younger, and gradually shift towards more dividend-paying stocks as you age
[SINGAPORE] BY now, you have likely come across countless articles emphasising the importance of investing to keep up with inflation. But investing is not just about protecting your money from inflation – it is also a way to grow your wealth.
The question is not whether you should invest – that was never in doubt. The real question is how to adjust your portfolio as you move through different stages of life.
Keep in mind that your investment portfolio should not stay the same over time. As you age, your financial situation and risk tolerance will change. This life progression means the portfolio you set up when you were younger might not be suitable as you enter your retirement years.
