How to Build a Strong Financial Portfolio: Steps to Building a Portfolio: The Journey?
Building
a portfolio takes the same structural engineering approach in the life journey.
The structural engineer is responsible for building a design and structure that
meets the client's long-term needs. Equally, the financial portfolio demands a
similar approach. The materials include the resources, skills, and ability to
diversify to achieve the overall goal of becoming a successful trade. I will
write the six important steps of building a financial portfolio in this
publication.
Step One:
Creating a Profile
A
well-diversified portfolio is important to any individual. However, it is
crucial to highlight that portfolios differ from individual to individual
depending on the need. That means, the first step should be creating goals,
objectives, mission, and vision. For example, have a goal of buying 100 shares
of Company A month. Compounding the goal for a year means that you will have
over 1200 shares by 31st December.
Once
the goal is set, it is important to check the milestones' strategies to have the
goal achieved. For instance, re-adjust your monthly budgets to create a
sizeable share of saving that will be pushed to share buying. Such adjustments provide
the gateway to creating an asset/resource allocation that conforms to your risk
tolerance and investment goals. More importantly, it is crucial to invest in
knowledge to ensure that your activities and decisions are scientifically
founded.
