10 Commandments for Investors

Financial news channels are just as likely to be wrong as they are to be right.

It’s basically a coin flip.

1

Look to your financial advisor, not your friends, for investment advice.

2

Don’t give credence to investment ideas that require immediate action.

3

When partnering with an advisor, you have a trusted advocate who will work with you to help you reach your long-term goals. But to be truly successful, we believe it’s important for you to adhere to some simple rules that may help to better your investment experience.

Symmetry | 10 Commandments for Investors

There will always be a salesperson promising higher returns, but bear this in mind: The lure of higher returns doesn’t constitute due diligence.

4

Include your financial advisor in all of your family’s large expense purchase considerations.

5

Being a long-term investor, not a speculator, requires patience. Volatility in markets is the price one must pay to get the returns of the market.

6

There are many worthwhile investment strategies, but none of them work all of the time.7

Become an educated and informed consumer.

Symmetry | 10 Commandments for Investors

Please contact your financial advisor with questions or for additional information.

It is your responsibility to know how your assets are invested and the underlying investment philosophy.

8

Financial planning and investor behavior are more important to long-term success than the investments themselves.

9

Remember: Risk and return are related! There is no such thing as a free lunch.
