If you are unsure about any implications of an investment, no matter how simple they may seem, ask questions. Some investments may offer taxation advantages.
Consider these only where they allow you to invest with safety and to feel comfortable with the amount of risk involved. If you are retired and have limited funds to
invest, make the safety of your investments your first priority.
Don't just chase the highest returns available - higher returns involve higher risks.
Today's winner is seldom tomorrow's leader. Take your time when making investment decisions - don't be rushed into signing anything.
It's your money, so make your decisions for your own reasons, not anyone else's.
The investments you choose should meet your requirements by providing the right amount of income and/or capital growth without causing you sleepless nights.
Diversification one method to help reduce your risk. Putting all your eggs in one basket -only in shares, only in one sector of the market, or even one country increases
your risk. Different classes of shares - different investment products like cash or property-perform at different times. Hedge your bets by spreading your investments.
Don't rely on past performances - At best, all they give is an idea of what has happened, not what will happen again! And if you want to use the figures, look to
long-term results only. At least 5-years.
Discipline By far and away, compound interest is your biggest tool. It is a much misunderstood concept. No matter what, keep your investment going for as long as
possible. It reduces your risk. Time equals money.
If all you do is hold onto your money, that alone can help ensure financial security.
You loose MONEY when you cash in your investment. Remember, it's time in the market - not market timing that makes money Tax, use what deductions you can get from SARS. This is vital when it comes to saving for retirement.
