What are your thoughts on investing right now and who would you trust? I’m thinking like JP Morgan or Edward Jones, and probably a managed account with a diversified portfolio. Thinking more of a lower risk, with a steady return, versus a high risk account…you know steady Eddie wins the race. I want something I can access if a piece of farm ground comes available on short notice Thank you!
Well, this is kind of a loaded question, you want to invest in a diversified portfolio, yet access to buy real estate. Which of these goals is your priority? If investing is the goal, then a diversified portfolio would work for long-term (over 7-year goal). To purchase real estate, I'd suggest just looking an inflation protection bond fund (7-year or under goal). Under NO circumstances would I suggest an annuity/life insurance product. A national brokerage firm would work, as well as do-it yourself type places (TD Ameritrade, Fidelity, Janus, etc.).
A little background, I've been a CFP since 1994 and spent over 30 years in the financial services field as a day job (now retired). |
