Growth
Growth is the goal of most people who invest. Some favour income, particularly those in retirement, but even for those folks there’s often a need and desire to see our money increase over time. We all want to see the value of our houses rise over time; we all want to see the balance on our pension statement be higher than it was last year. And no matter how much I bang on to my clients about investing for the long term, if their portfolio is down this year, the conversation is always more difficult then when it goes up!
So, growth is important, but what is it, how should we define it, and more importantly, how do we achieve it?
