Choosing
which investments are right for you will depend on a number of factors:
Your
Primary Goal - Is it to have your money readily accessible,
to have a dependable source of regular income, or to build your assets
over time? Each type of investment fulfills a different need.
Your
Time Horizon - When will you need the proceeds of your investment?
If it's within a few months or years then short-term cashable GICs or income investments
should be considered. With a long term horizon, you may want to add growth
investments to the mix.
Your
Risk Tolerance - Growth investments with a higher level of
risk will generally pay higher return, but if your nest egg and peace
of mind are key, investments with safety of principal is the answer.
