Investment goals will help you work out where you want to get to. This very much depends on you as an individual, everyone's different. Do you want to make some money right now, or do you want to put it away and make even more in the future? You might want
- an income now, or later?
- a fixed income or a level of income that grows over time?
- on the other hand you might be looking to maximise your growth potential for the future?
To really answer them properly you also need to have a little think about your personal life. Do you need to pay for your childrens' education? Or repay a mortgage early? Or sort out your retirement plans? Whatever you need to do, ask yourself:
"What do I want my investment to achieve?"
