As a general rule, your investment program should be built like a pyramid- a strong, wide, supporting base that holds the foundation of your investments. These instruments include a Savings Account, T-Bills, Fixed Annuities, Money Markets and Traditional, Cash-Value Life Insurance. 

Further up the pyramid you’ll want to place conservative investments. Less in quantity than the foundation that holds the footing firm, this category of investments include, but are not limited to: Conservative Equities like Balanced Mutual Funds, Government, to include some Municipal, and High Grade Corporate Bond Mutual Funds, Pension Plans, and your residence. 

The next category is further up the pyramid, so there is less quantity and more potential risk of loss of principal. This category includes Growth Stocks and Mutual Funds, Variable Cash Value Life Insurance, Investment Real Estate and Limited Partnerships. You’ll want to exercise prudence when determining what and how much of your portfolio is part of this category.

At the top of the pyramid is Speculative Investments. Investments in Commodities, such as Gold and other rare earth minerals, Oil Exploration, Art, Options and Venture Capital positions are included in this category. Caution should be taken if being sold a position in any of these instruments. Contact a trusted advisor prior to any purchases. 

Finding the right investments for your particular situation should be left to a professional who has the experience and knowledge to listen to what you’re saying, to understand what you want to have happen and then to recommend a sound, solid portfolio that meets your criteria. All this needs to be done with an understanding that you need to be advised, not sold.

​All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss.
