Emotions are good, but not when investing

Emotions are not a good guide

Investing is a very personal matter. And it's often tied to emotions. When markets are on the up, investing is fun. But when things don't go as you’d hoped, looking at your investment portfolio can be painful. Unfortunately, emotional moments like these often lead to poor investment decisions.

Analysis

Analysis

Investment decisions are best made based on a systematic and sober analysis of the investment markets. What are the fundamental drivers? What are the market opportunities and risks? These questions need to be answered objectively.

Strategy

Strategy

Your portfolio should follow the agreed investment strategy, which is individual to you and tailored to your needs. It takes into account your circumstances, your financial goals, and the level of risk you can take.

Discipline

Discipline

Once the strategy for your portfolio has been decided, it must be followed consistently. This involves monitoring investment priorities using up-to-date market analyses. If the market situation changes, the strategy should be reviewed. Maintaining discipline is the key to investing successfully.
