Goal-oriented investing

Every goal deserves its own strategy.

Match horizon and risk

Money for 2 years from now (a car)? Safe, few stocks. Retirement 30 years away? Go all-in on stocks, the swings don't matter.

As you age, shift from stocks toward safer bonds.

Write down your goals

Making them concrete (amount + date) helps you choose the right mix and stick to your plan when the market moves.

Write goals down: concrete, with an amount and a deadline.

Remember this

  • Every goal deserves its own horizon and risk level.
  • Short term (2 years): safe. Far off (30-year retirement): all-in on stocks.
  • Make goals concrete (amount + date) to choose the right mix.
  • Clear goals help you stick to your plan when the market moves.
