shots fired from enemy ships seemed to bounce off her hull. She
may be best remembered for her service in the War of 1812.

Diversification . A larger pool of funds allows the fund manager managing the unit trust to purchase a wider range of investments. Rather than concentrating an investment portfolio into one or two investments or shares, a portfolio of market securities can be held. The wider the spread of investments, the less volatile (i.e. variable) the investment returns will be. In simple terms, not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Investment Banking Services The first is longevity.

Bank Investment It is easy to be influenced by the short-term direction of the
market. A long-term perspective, if warranted, is best observed.
Of course if you have a short-term goal, aggressive investments
such as individual stocks may not be the best alternative.
However, if you have many years before retirement, you should
ignore the short-term volatility. As with "Old Ironsides," she
fought many a battle, but more than two hundred years later
remains afloat and above water.

Alternative Investment A second point to remember, just like the ship, your portfolio
may require maintenance from time to time.

Online Investment Services Positions may weaken and require your attention. Other positions
may grow to a point where profit taking is in order. As with the
strong currents of the seas, the market will take its direction
and you must adapt to it.

Accompany Essential Investment Finally, you should consider periodic reviews (i.e. monthly,
quarterly, annually) vital to your portfolio. Even the USS
Constitution has an annual appointment, with America, where she
makes her "Turn-Around" trip. This allows her to weather evenly
while at dock during the year and to keep her on active
commission. Onlookers, meanwhile, have the opportunity to view
all sides of the ship. You, too, should be familiar with all
areas of your portfolio.

remember to schedule a visit with your savings.
