How do you decide what is best for your situation? Step 2: When will this event take place? – Short Term Goals Emergency Account might be needed on very short notice Car Purchase: month to years – Longer Term Goals Retirement Planning: months to decades away 22

Risk Tolerance Step 3: Determine your risk tolerance. – Personal Risk Assessment Quizzes may help Some of these tools provide “suggested allocations” – Ask yourself “What are the consequences of poor investment returns?” 23

Rebalancing Annually: 2000 to 2009 Jen’s Ending Allocation was: 50% in Large Cap Stocks Range: 36% to 51% 25.3% in Small Cap Stocks Range: 19% to 27% 20% in Bonds Range: 16% to 28% 4.7% in Money Market Account Range: 4% to 7% Her Account is worth: $13,631 32
