Recommendation

In this insightful investing advisory, Ashvin B. Chhabra, chief investment officer with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, explains why the focus of your investing should be your personal objectives, not whether you beat the overall market’s performance. Chhabra advises placing your assets in three buckets representing your “safety,” “lifestyle” and “aspirational goals.” The assets in each bucket should provide a return and represent a risk that’s appropriate to its purpose. Chhabra provides a compelling perspective on navigating today’s market-oriented investment climate. While never giving investment advice, getAbstract recommends his useful planning guide to investment professionals, investors, and anyone interested in investments and markets.

Take-Aways

  • Successful investing calls for focusing on your goals.
  • Don’t evaluate your investment results based on whether you beat the market. Evaluate your outcomes based on whether you’re achieving your goals or not.
  • Most professionals don’t outperform the market in the long run.
