An investment portfolio should be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the investments are achieving their desired financial purpose. Asset allocation, portfolio re-balancing and fund switching may be required on an ad-hoc basis, to manage risk levels in changing investment conditions.
An investment portfolio should consider various factors, including:
Investment term
The time frame of your investment
Liquidity
Do you require quick access to your funds
Risk level
Your tolerance of market movements and volatility
Expected return
What are your expectations regarding the return on your investment?
Capital growth or income requirements
Is your investment objective long term capital growth or the generation of income; or a combination of both
Interest rates and guarantees
You should be aware of the effects of the interest rate cycle on your investments and the appropriate use of investment guarantees
Currency risk
Any exposure to international investment markets carries the risk of currency movements, and you should be aware of the impact this could have on your investment portfolio
