How many investment goals do most investors have?
More than one. Although most of us start out with one goal, we often end up with multiple goals as our lives change.
2.
In order to prevent yourself from becoming just a collector of investments, what should you do?
Make sure that your goals are the driving forces behind your investments. No matter how many investments you have, you should make your goals the driving force behind them.
3.
Why should you consider using a government or employer plan to fund your retirement goals?
Both of the above. Plans of this nature encourage participation by offering some kind of tax break and/or contributions by your employer.
4.
What determines your asset allocation for each portfolio that you have?
Both of the above. Both the time horizon and the final portfolio value needed to fund the goal will help you determine your asset allocation.
5.
If you have three financial goals, how many portfolios should you probably have?
Three. Most of the time, you'll need a different portfolio for each financial goal. If two goals share the same time horizon--say you plan to send your twins to college in 10 years--one portfolio may be able to fund both goals.
