What mix of investments suits aan

investor?

Your mix of investments (asset allocation) will drive your results – including the amount of money you get back (returns) and the ups and downs in value (volatility) you experience. For your specific profile, a typical mix might look like this:

90%

invested in growth assets

80%

Shares With shares you buy a slice of a company and receive part of its profit, either from dividends it pays or because its share price climbs. Here’s more about investing in shares.

10%

Property Property refers to commercial property or owning rental property. Here’s our property investing guide.

6%

Bonds With bonds you lend your money to a government or company and they pay you regular interest payments. Here’s more about investing in bonds.

1%

Cash Investors and fund managers will typically hold some cash, much like we would in a term deposit. Here’s more about investing in cash.

Within each kind of investment (asset class), it’s a good idea to spread your risk (diversify) across a variety of companies, industries and countries in order to smooth out the ups and downs. Some might not do so well, while others might do quite well – so it’s safer to diversify and not have all your eggs in one basket.

Steady investing makes a massive difference

Contributing regularly over time (dollar-cost averaging) is a way to get better results. When markets are up and investments are more pricey, the dollars you put in buy less. But when they’re down and investments are on sale, your money buys more. And it takes the guesswork out of deciding when to invest.
