  9. Three Questions:Every Financial Advisor Should Ask. • How much do you want to invest? • For how long do you want to invest? • How’s your risk tolerance (stomach)? • Can you handle volatility over the long period of investing? • Is this money you need or money you want!

  10. Savings Accounts • Savings accounts are accounts at financial institutions designed to keep your money safe and help it grow. • Low interest rate • Provides liquidity • Losing growth to inflation • Guaranteed by FDIC up to $250,000 • You can make deposits and withdrawals as needed • Initial deposit varies with the bank. From $1 to as much as $1,000

  11. Insured v. Uninsured Accounts • Savings accounts and bank CDs that are insured by the FDIC offer a smaller return because they are safer. • Stocks, bonds and mutual funds are not insured or offer guarantees. • There is not a single investment that gives you high return, low risk, and ease of access (liquidity).

  12. CDs, or Time Deposits • Certificates of deposit (CD’s) are a safe way to make your money grow. • The longer you leave your money on deposit, the higher interest rate you’ll earn. • Length of deposit varies form 1 month to 5 years.

  13. U.S. Treasury Investments • Include Savings Bonds and Treasury Bills. • When you buy treasury securities you are making a loan to the government. • Interest varies, but you are always guaranteed a minimum return • Low risk, low return • Interests and principal payments are backed by the federal government

  14. Treasury Bills • T-Bills are sold for less than their face value. • Your profit is the difference between the purchase price and the face value. • T-Bills pay you back with interest in one year or less from their issue date.

  15. U.S. Savings Bonds • Interest can vary, but you are always guaranteed a minimum return. • Dominations ranging from $50 to $10,000. • Maximum purchase in one year is $5,000. • Redeemable only to the person to whom they are registered. • Earnings on savings are not tax deductible.

  16. Stock Market Risk • No guarantee that stock prices will go up or that you will make money on stocks. • Banks now sell all types of investment products which are NOT insured. • BE AWARE! Volatility can be bad and good!

  17. Bonds • U.S. Government Bonds (Treasuries): • Exempt from state and local taxes. • U.S. Treasury bills -- maturities from 90 days to one year • U.S. Treasury notes (coupons) -- maturities from two to 10 years • U.S. Treasury bonds -- maturities from 10 to 30 years • Municipal Bonds • Many muni’s are safe from city, state and federal taxes. • Corporate Bonds • Riskiest fixed-income securities. • Susceptible to economic problems, mismanagement and competition. • Pan Am and Chrysler bankruptcies of 1979 come to mind.

  18. Mutual Funds • Are a portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities. • Run by a fund manager who gets a commission. • Each investor in a fund shares in the fund’s gains, losses and expenses. • A way to “diversify” or spread out your risk.

  19. Saving for Education • There are a number of special accounts that can help you save for your children’s college educations. • Unified Gift to Minors Act (UGMA’s – Age 18) • 529 College Savings Plans • IRA’s can be used for educational expenses
