Hamilton Equity: Learn how to put fundamental investment principles to work for you. (part 2 of 2).

April 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Diversify Your Portfolio
Diversification is a tried and true way to help reduce the impact a decline in any one investment type will have on your whole portfolio. By owning different types of investments, including stocks, bonds, cash, or mutual funds made up of these components, you may reduce the effect a downturn in one security will have on your overall portfolio.

Focus on the Long Term
Keep the overall market's ups and downs in perspective - stay focused on the long term for your longer-term, more aggressive investments.

Consider Our Professional Management
Funds or discretionary accounts are two ways to take advantage of the benefit of professional management from people who, like our staff at Hamilton Equity, spend all day analysing, evaluating and selecting securities, and who are devoted to understanding how the investment markets work. This can save you from having to choose and monitor the individual securities on your own.

Select High-Quality Investments
When you're investing for your financial security, you want to know that the investments you select will be able to help you reach your goals. That's why you want to invest only in high-quality investments and here at Hamilton Equity, we utilize the world's top Fund and Bond Managers. Jardine Flemming, Merrill Lynch, Perpetual, Fidelity, Rothchilds, Gartmore and Goldman Sachs to name but a few.

Be Knowledgeable
The cardinal rule for successful investing is to know what you're investing in. Putting money in a very risky investment, like futures, isn't necessarily a bad investment - as long as you recognize that you could lose even more money than you originally put in. Conversely, putting money into a low-risk investment isn't necessarily a safe move if you need your money to grow faster than the rate of inflation. And that's why understanding your risk tolerance is so important. Here at Hamilton Equity, our Advisers place an emphasis on building your portfolio with your attitude to risk placed as a priority in its composition.

Invest for Growth
Putting your money in an investment whose price doesn't fluctuate much may sound good, but many investors understand that while market risk may be scary, over the long term inflation risk is the real threat to their financial security. Some investors frequently choose investments that historically have provided low returns because they feel another percent or two just isn't worth the risk.

Creating a diversified portfolio made up of all types of investments is one way to avoid these risks. At Hamilton Equity, we offer all of the tools that are necessary to help you discover the portfolio that is best for your personal investment need.
