Pick An Investment Strategy
Your investment strategy depends on your saving goals, how much money you need to reach them and your time horizon.
If your savings goal is more than 20 years away (like retirement), almost all of your money can be in stocks.
If you’re saving for a short-term goal and you need the money within five years, the risk associated with stocks means you're better off keeping your money safe, in an online savings account, cash management account or low-risk investment portfolio.
