Determining what investments can best help deliver your retirement needs requires an understanding of:

• what your investment options are;
• how different types of investments tend to perform over long periods of time; and
• your financial goals, so you can pick an investment mix suited to your specific retirement investment objectives and risk tolerance.

Your primary investment choices can be broken into four general asset categories - Shares, Property, Fixed Interest/Bonds and Cash. Though each may play a role in your long-term strategy, creating the ideal investment mix involves identifying your personal objectives and risk tolerance and diversifying your investments accordingly. That is, choosing what's appropriate for you and acquiring the appropriate investments.

The specialised care taken by the Piccadilly Financial Group (Piccadilly) team includes monitoring and modifying your investment mix over a long period of time which is often a daunting task for clients. Keeping track of market trends, interest rates, emerging opportunities and other unforeseeable variables requires an expert eye. Your Piccadilly adviser will determine your profile via a Confidential Client Data Form and advise you of your options to achieve your goals.
