Investing for retirement: Take the controls

Playing an active role in shaping your financial future

Retirement planning should not be placed on autopilot. It’s not one of those things you can set and forget. From the moment you invest your first dollar until you take your first withdrawal, every financial decision will shape your comfort and confidence to and through retirement.

Understanding investing and applying that knowledge to your personal accounts is one of the best strategies for working towards long-term financial success. Retirement investing does better when the pilot is fully engaged in the cockpit.

How you divide your money among different investment categories — also called asset allocation — is one of the most important strategic decisions you will make. In fact, it may have a greater impact on your long-term returns and your ability to reach your goals than just about anything else. It’s important to regularly rebalance your account to keep your asset allocation aligned with your goals and risk tolerance.
