Portfolio Allocation

If I have $100000, how would I allocate my portfolio? This is a very common question that I get every day from my friends/readers, especially for those who haven’t even started investing.

Investing is not as simple as just buying and selling stocks. In fact, I believe that the most successful investors are those who understand how to build a diversified portfolio of assets that can complement each other.

That’s why when you’re building your portfolio, it’s important to keep in mind what your goals are and how much time you have before retirement or college tuition needs to be paid off. We’ll go over some basic ideas of how to allocate your money across different investment types so you can figure out what works best for your situation!

100k is not a large amount of money, but it is enough to make yourself some guaranteed income.

If you have $100000, it’s not a lot of money. But it’s enough to make yourself some guaranteed income. That’s what I did with my first $100000. And I am still doing it today.

I didn’t start with too much, but it was enough to make a difference in my life and get me started on my journey towards financial independence and early retirement.

You will need to answer this question for yourself and see what your goals are.

You will need to answer this question for yourself and see what your goals are.

  • Are you saving up for a house?
  • Do you want to travel the world?
  • What is the time frame that works best for your goals?

You should also consider your risk tolerance and how long you can potentially get back your money.

You should also consider your risk tolerance and how long you can potentially get back your money. Risk tolerance is a measure of how much risk you can take on, but it’s different for everyone. You need to know your own risk tolerance before investing in anything.

  • If you have a high risk tolerance and are willing to lose some or all of the money that you invest, then it might be better for you to put more in stocks than bonds or cash (or keep 100% out of investments altogether).
  • If, on the other hand, your goal isn’t necessarily to make money as quickly as possible but rather just have enough funds available when needed in case something happens–like an emergency fund–then an investment mix with more bonds/cash may be preferable since those asset classes tend not only generate less growth but also provide more stability over time thanks in part due their lack volatility compared with stocks

I would invest 30% in dividend stocks, 30% in Index Funds, 30% in Cash/Money Market Funds, 5-10% in Crypto and growth stocks.

If I have $100000, how would I allocate my portfolio?

I would invest 30% in dividend stocks, 30% in Index Funds, 30% in Cash/Money Market Funds, 5-10% in Crypto and growth stocks.

Why?

Dividend stocks give me cashflow (and some capital gain) on a monthly basis so that I don’t need to worry about how much income I generate from my investments as they will be covered by these dividends. They also tend to be more stable than growth stocks when the market goes down.

Index funds track a particular index or sector and grow with the world economy over time at a low cost because they are passively managed (i.e., no active fund manager trying to beat an index). The big advantage of this approach is that there is no risk of buying too early or too late into an up trending market; one simply buys at any point where valuations meet one’s criteria If we look back at history then we can see that this strategy has worked well over long periods of time; however there will always be periods when markets go down so having some cash reserves available can help smooth out those bumps along the way!

Cash/money market funds provide liquidity for short term needs such as paying off debts or buying something special once every few months without having too much impact on our overall portfolio return due its low-risk nature (though note that these returns may not match inflation).

Crypto is the future of money as I believe so. Good to dabble in it to understand more about Crypto. The best way to learn in life is to try it yourself. Hence %% would be a good starting point. Similarly for growth stock, it may be risky, but it is worth starting to learn more about it. Unless one put hard earned money in it, more due diligence would be done.

It’s not just about having a good strategy, but also making sure you execute on that strategy well

  • Make sure you have a good strategy, but also make sure you execute on that strategy well.
  • It is not just about having a good strategy, but also making sure you execute on that portfolio well.

If you have a longer time horizon, then you can be more aggressive with your investments.

If you have a longer time horizon, then you can be more aggressive with your investments. This is because the risk of a bad investment is less likely to cause irreparable damage to your portfolio over the long term.

If we assume that an investor has $100000 and wants to invest it all in stocks (so they don’t have any cash), here are some guidelines for how to allocate their portfolio:

  • If they’re young and have little money saved up yet: Invest 100% of their capital into stocks or funds that invest mostly in stocks (like index funds). This will help them grow their wealth quickly so that they can afford more expensive things later on in life.
  • If they’re nearing retirement age but still have enough time before reaching retirement: Invest roughly 80% into stocks/funds that invest mostly in stocks, with 20% allocated toward safer assets such as bonds or cash equivalents like treasury bills (T-bills and SSb).

You may want to add other assets like real estate or business ownership as well, depending on the type of person you are.

If you are a more risk-averse investor, it may be better to invest in real estate. However, this can be risky as well because the market is not stable and there might be times when your property value will go down, especially huge amount of capital is required for such investments.

Investing in stocks can also be risky but if done right, it can give you high returns. You’ll need to be careful about when to buy or sell your stocks because sometimes they will drop suddenly due to unexpected events such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks happening around the world.

If none of these options sound appealing to you and/or if they don’t fit into your budget plan (which should include saving money), then consider starting an online business instead!

Conclusion

The most important thing is to take action and start investing. Get started and learn!

Good articles that you should read!

People are drawn to dividend investing. Why? Firstly, dividends provide a regular stream of income, allowing investors to receive a portion of the company’s profits on a periodic basis. This can be particularly attractive for individuals seeking consistent cash flow or looking to supplement their existing income. Additionally, dividend investing is often viewed as a more stable and predictable investment strategy compared to relying solely on capital appreciation.

I always write and share articles, especially on dividends which many people love them. Do read them!

Remember: Time is the Ultimate Currency, not Money

Lastly, please remember Time is the ultimate currency, not money! Below is what I shared in this post.

Money just buy you the chance of freedom. When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed while busying striking out in career. Of course, if you love your career, and consciously know that you are missing out the first time your child walk or talk, that’s ok, but if you are the other spectrum, please do something about it.

Love your life daily.

Time is ticking away.

For each passing day,

You have one less day with your spouse, parents, children and yourself.

Enjoy and Treasure your Life!
