Ingredients for Successful Investing

To achieve your investment goals, you need a plan. Most successful portfolios require a long-term horizon, a balance of risk and reward and diversification.

Let’s take these step by step:

Long-term time horizon. When it comes to investing, time is your friend because it enables you to ride out the volatility of the stock and bond markets. Saving regularly over the long term – 10, 20 or even 30 years – will increase the likelihood of achieving your investment goals.
Balance risk and reward. There is no investment reward without risk. Carefully assess your risk tolerance and be aware that risk can be offset by a long-term time horizon.
Diversify. By diversifying, you allocate your assets in a way that balances your tolerance for risk with your need for investment reward over the long term. Investing in a Thrivent Asset Allocation fund or an appropriate selection of single strategy funds may help you achieve your financial goals.
Seek help from a Thrivent Financial representative. Your Thrivent Financial representative can help analyze your financial situation, assess your risk tolerance and recommend appropriate funds.

To learn more about successful investing and how Thrivent Investment Management can help you achieve your financial goals, contact a Thrivent Financial representative today.
