Investing Risks — What You Need To Know

You do not want to put your money out into the investing world without knowing the risks. Investing is not an automatic get rich quick scheme. However, if you are aware of the ground rules, it is a great opportunity to build wealth over time.

The first ground rule that you need to know about is your asset allocation. If you are not comfortable with the concept, you can still invest. But you should limit your investments only to vehicles that manage your asset allocation for you, e.g., a target date fund.
