Many seniors believe that they simply don’t have time to continue investing like they did earlier in life. This is simply not true. While it might take a little more finesse than in previous years there is plenty of time to let the money that you have work for you. Here are some tips for investing as a senior.

Be Honest

Don’t talk yourself into thinking that you are in a better (or worse) financial situation than you are. Be honest with yourself and your spouse about where you stand financially. This will prevent taking unhealthy risks or possibly being too conservative.

Know who are you Working With

Are you planning on doing the investing yourself, through a company or working with a financial advisor? You want to know where your money is at all times and where it is going when you invest it. If you are working with an advisor set up regular meetings and request the documents to show you this information.

Is Discretion Needed?

If you are planning on using discretion on your investments by using a broker or an advisor, then know the ins and outs of what they are going to be doing. Make sure you understand how and when transactions are going to be executed to your account.

Don’t Limit Yourself

Get age out of your head. Being elderly doesn’t meant that you have to limit your investments to a narrow range of products.
