Description

Certain assets have performed better than others over time, and some can cause angst as they fluctuate because of financial market behavior. Every investor needs to know enough about specific assets to make a judgment about their suitability for their personalized investment plan. Independent of whether an individual intends to self-guide their investments or work with an advisor, preparation for these decisions requires understanding the performance and behavioral characteristics of specific assets thru time. A wide array of different assets are examined to reveal their prospective ability to add value, enhance diversification, or control risk within a portfolio.

Upon completion of this curriculum, you will end up with a realistic menu of potential investment assets for consideration. Best of all you will understand the pros and cons of selecting them. The specific asset reviews will also serve as a handy reference when an individual considers modification of their investment plan.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in improving their investment outcomes.
