As you craft your comprehensive retirement plan in conjunction with your planning and wealth advisory team, your primary focus should remain on factors within your control.
Picking individual stocks and bonds may improve investment returns over longer periods of time (they have for our clients), yet the most consequential decisions are related to your asset allocation and saving-spending balance. Long-term success for your investments generally boils down to spending less than you make and investing the difference over a long period of time.
From time to time, be sure to assess the factors that are somewhat or completely out of your control but your primary focus should remain on the factors within your control.
