You have come a long way, but have your investments kept up? |
The current economic slowdown has not slowed the growth of the U.S. population
at all. And women may be leading the surge.
Though it may be general knowledge that women outnumber men in the Unites States, last year’s Census proves it. Women make up about 51 percent of the population, and almost 39 percent of the 18-and-over segment of the population. American businesses have noticed the trend, wooing women with a dizzying array of marketing and ad campaigns. Yes, you’ve come a long way. According to Census Bureau statistics, more women are entering college and vocational programs, in addition to record numbers of women entering the workforce. But have you started investing so that you can take care of yourself once you are no longer working? If you have started investing, great! Have your investments kept pace with your goals, age, salary, etc? If you’re not investing, now is a good time. Don’t let the economic slowdown deter you. Eight out of 10 investors feel that the demand for investments will improve over the next three years and that their portfolios will increase in value, according to a report from the Forum for Investor Advice quoted by Standard & Poor’s.

Whenever there’s been a significant event in your life – marriage, divorce, childbirth, etc. – re-evaluate your portfolio. Some experts even suggest doing so every five years regardless of a life-changing event. Let’s face it. Your time horizon – when you anticipate needing the money – may have changed dramatically. Maybe your goals and objectives have changed. What about risk tolerance? Your investment style may have changed in terms of risk. You’re not static and inflexible, so your investments shouldn’t be either. Visit us at www.usfunds.com for more information and tools that can help you get started. |
There’s no doubt that your time is important. You’re working, maybe raising a family, and
