3 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SAVING

1) START EARLY! Use the power of compounding of interest. The sooner you start the better! 2) Try to set aside 10 % or more of your current income to have a chance to meet your financial goals; 3) Save / Invest in a diversified portfolio, at least some portion should be in shares (the long-term saving part) and depending on your attitude toward risk/return www.finzoom.ro

HOW TO INVEST FOR BETTER RETURNS

OK, Compounding is the 8th wonder and we are losing by not using it now… BUT, HOW TO INVEST FOR HIGHER RETURN? The answer is simple: •Use a reputable mutual fund (international or local) with solid track record. •Start with a monthly saving plan (i.e. 50 EUR / month) •Be ware of your attitude towards volatility and periods of losses. •Past performance does not guarantee future returns www.finzoom.ro


TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS

www.finzoom.ro


PRINCIPLE OF INVESTING IN SHARES

Shares and mutual funds in shares are more risky, i.e. higher returns, but higher volatility Such investments should be for longer time horizons – i.e. above 5 years The regular investor cannot “time the market”, so it is better to average the cost of buying both highs and lows in a volatile market.

RICHES VS. WEALTH

“The wealthy buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle-class tend to buy luxuries first. Why? Emotional discipline.” “The definition of wealth is the number of days you can survive without physically working (or anyone in your household physically working) and still maintain your standard of living.” Robert Kiyosaki, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”
