         The Investment Lifecycle - Why Does One Need to "Invest" ?

​

​

​

Over the investment lifecycle, there are two stages: the "accumulation" stage and the "income" stage. In the "career" ( accumulation stage ) years, in order for an investor to maximize the accumulation of retirement assets in an optimal way, they may want to employ equity based assets ( stock market assets ) that have shown highest performance, as proven by academic investment science.

​

Why does an investor want to maximize the accumulation of assets into retirement ? Because research has indicated that 85% of retirement eligible citizens don't have "enough" or "excess" savings / investments accumulated to live in financial independence or financial security ( see "Stock Market Investing “Cheat Sheet”" in E-Books tab )

 

An investor who is in their accumulation stage years will most likely need a portfolio that may produce "maximal" growth. As per academic research,  investment a portfolio of "value" stocks and "growth" stocks, has produced a high rate of growth over a multi-decade period. A read of the content within the tab "Accumulation Stage Investor" provides further information.

An investor who is in their income stage years will most likely desire a reasonable income stream accompanied by some amount of portfolio growth. Research shows that investment in a portfolio of "value" stocks has produced a respectable income stream for almost a century. A read of the content within the tab "Income Stage Investor" provides further information.
