Lessons in this module
Set a Target Asset Mix
Evaluate whether a portfolio's asset allocation is appropriate for its investment horizon — and explain how and why the mix should shift from growth-oriented to stability-oriented as retirement approaches.
Increase Saving Capacity
Explain why directing a portion of every income increase to savings — rather than matching lifestyle spending to income growth — accelerates wealth accumulation without sacrificing the existing standard of living.
Manage Concentration Risk
Concentration risk comes from holding too much in one company, sector or geography, so a single event can do severe damage. Diversification spreads that exposure so no one event devastates the whole portfolio.
Use Rebalancing Rules
Describe how to rebalance a portfolio back to target allocations after market movements — without chasing recent winners — and explain why this discipline reduces risk and enforces the original investment plan.
Measure Progress After Inflation
Real return is the nominal return minus inflation, so a positive headline gain can still be a real loss when inflation is higher. Measuring purchasing power — not just the account number — is what shows true progress.
