A portfolio is simply a collection of investments that work together to help you achieve your financial goals. At Juniper Wealth Management, we build portfolios by selecting a diverse mix of assets, which are managed using a low-cost, evidence-based approach. Each investment inside your portfolio serves a specific purpose, whether that’s generating growth, providing stability, or offering protection against risk.
Key Components of a Portfolio:
- Equities (Stocks): These represent ownership in companies, offering the potential for long-term growth. A portion of your portfolio might be invested in large, well-established companies like Apple or Google, as well as smaller, high-growth companies across the globe.
- Bonds: Bonds act as loans to governments or corporations and provide regular interest payments. Bonds are generally more stable than equities, and we use a flexible bond strategy to adapt to changing interest rates while maintaining a balance between risk and return.
- Commercial Property: Investing in physical assets like office buildings and retail spaces, commercial property adds stability through rental income and the possibility of capital appreciation over time.
- Infrastructure: This includes investments in essential services like transportation, utilities, and renewable energy projects, offering long-term, inflation-linked returns with lower volatility compared to traditional equities.
- Cash: Cash provides liquidity and security in times of market uncertainty, acting as a safeguard for short-term needs or opportunities that arise.
