Time Horizon • The length of time over which an investment is made or held before it is turned into cash (liquidated)
Risk - Reward • Potential returns on investments rise with an increase in risk, as does the potential for loss.
Risk Tolerance • The ability and willingness to stomach large swings in the value of his or her investments.
Compound Interest • Interest that accrues on the initial principal and the accumulated interest of a principal deposit, loan or debt. • The more frequently interest is added to the principal, the faster the principal grows and the higher the compound interest will be.
Pay Yourself First • Automatically route your specified savings contribution from each paycheck at the time it is received. • Best done with a Direct Deposit!
Diversification • A risk management technique that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio.
