“To change or not-to change.”

Most employer-sponsored plans offer a colorful array of investment choices – everything from conservative to aggressive funds and lots in between. Your initial investment selections may not turn out to be ideal for your current situation. So, all plans allow you to make new investment elections. (See your plan documents to find out when and how). When you make changes, here are some suggestions:


Do’s and Don’t’s

DO make changes if your lifestyle changes … for example, you get married or have a child.
DO make changes if you want to increase or decrease your potential for return.
DO make changes to rebalance your account to redistribute your risk. Tell me more.
DO consider changes if you wish to step down investment risk as you approach retirement.
DON’T make a change as a knee-jerk reaction to one day’s (month’s) performance in the market.
DON’T make a change just because your buddy gave you a “hot” tip.


“Did you choose an investment from every food group?”

Investment change (for the right reasons) is fine. Just make sure you don’t load up on all fruits and vegetables and skip the grains. We’ve got a whole section on this topic … known as diversification. I’ll explain.
