Online Investing - Your Financial Future Starts Today
Investing earlier allows you to grow your savings beyond what they could be by simply sitting in a cash account. The earlier you begin investing, the more you could potentially have when you hit your goal.
iWealthConnect™ is here to help you ensure you have the right strategy for you and your unique situation, as well as to stick to that strategy through good times and bad.
Guided Wealth Portfolios can be a great solution for you! You can enjoy a sophisticated, online investment solution and begin building a relationship with our team. We’re here to help you along the way!
The Guided Wealth Portfolio Wealth Management
Three-Step Process
The Guided Wealth Portfolios’ three step process will determine which portfolio is right for you based on your individual financial goals, investment timeline (if you have one in mind), and feelings about risk in your investments. It has all the benefits of online investing, with the personal touch of your personal financial advisor- not a robo advisor.
-
1. What’s your #1 financial goal?
You’ll choose from three primary goal options:
- Retirement: You want to potentially grow your account for retirement.
- Major purchase: You want to save and invest for a home, car, vacation, etc.
- General investing: You don’t have a specific goal in mind, but you want to start investing for the future.
-
2. What’s your investment horizon?
If you want to invest for retirement or a major purchase, you’ll be asked to indicate when you’d like to reach your goal. Your investment time frame will be the key factor in determining your initial portfolio allocations for your retirement or major purchase goal.
-
3. What’s your risk tolerance?
Next, you’ll answer a series of risk tolerance questions to help us understand your investment preferences. We’ll seek to discover if you prefer:
- Taking on more risk, which means you’ll receive more equity exposure in your portfolio.
- Taking on less risk, which means you’ll receive more fixed income exposure in your portfolio.
- A mixed approach, which means you’ll receive a balanced mix of equity and fixed income in your portfolio.
If you’re investing for retirement or a major purchase, time will be the key determining factor in your portfolio allocation. Your risk tolerance will determine the “tilt” to your portfolio—whether you have more equity or more fixed income investments, or a balance of the two. On the other hand, if you’re investing for general purposes, your risk tolerance will be the key determining factor in your portfolio allocation.
