The World’s Best Investment Advice

Thornburg Investment Management
30 Jun 2023
2 min read

Use classic strategies, key principles, and some caution to lead to long-term investment success.

As investors, we are constantly bombarded with noise from the financial media, pundits, and market fluctuations. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype and make impulsive decisions that can harm our long-term financial goals. However, there are timeless investment strategies that have proven to be effective in achieving success.

1. Become an Expert in the Value of Compounding

Albert Einstein once said, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it; he who doesn’t pays it.” Compounding is the process of earning interest on both the principal amount and any accrued interest over time. It’s a powerful force that can help your investments grow exponentially.

To illustrate the power of compounding, consider the following example: if you had a choice between working 35 days for $1,000 per day or working for a penny the first day and doubling that amount each day for 35 days, which would you choose? The answer may surprise you. The second option would result in a staggering $339,456,652.80!

2. Make Use of Dollar Cost Averaging and Systematic Investing

Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the market’s performance. This approach helps reduce the impact of market volatility and timing risks. By investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, you’ll be buying more shares when the market is low and fewer shares when the market is high.

Systematic investing is a variation of dollar cost averaging that involves investing a lump sum of money in a series of smaller investments over time. This approach can help reduce the risk of investing a large sum of money in a single investment.

3. Stay the Course

Staying the course is perhaps the most important investment advice of all. It means avoiding the temptation to make impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations and instead focusing on your long-term goals. By staying invested and avoiding the noise, you’ll be able to ride out market downturns and benefit from the power of compounding.

This can include avoiding highly risky investments in your retirement planning. For example, while cryptocurrency may seem like a tempting investment opportunity, it’s essential to approach it with caution because of the lack of regulation, difficulty in accessing funds, and limited fungibility. Additionally, the recent collapse of several cryptocurrency exchanges has highlighted the risks of investing in unregulated markets.

Conclusion

Investing in the stock and bond markets can be intimidating, but by following these timeless strategies, you can increase your chances of success: recognize the value of compounding while making use of dollar cost averaging and systematic investing.  Stay the course set by your financial advisor and you will on your way to achieving your financial goals.
