There is a plethora of financial advice available and an equally voluminous amount of investment options as well. Your own tolerance for risk and level of affluence to a large extent will determine what type of asset mix you are comfortable with. The evolution of our global markets has enlarged your investment choices whether retirement is looming soon or years from now. Here are some ideas and alternatives.
Stock Market Portion
There a number of ways to participate in the stock market depending on how much risk you are willing to assume. One question you are going to ask is how much in domestic equities? Given that, are you going to buy large capitalization companies, mid-cap or small-cap stocks? What industries? The odds are fairly good that people retiring are going opt for more conservative companies that pay a dividend.
Another option one could consider is international / foreign markets. There are some additional risks one should be aware of in this category. First is currency or foreign exchange risk. This is typically a longer term risk but can have short term consequences as well. In addition to that, there is a marked difference between developed countries and markets and emerging markets. Liquidity is also an issue in this case.
