Monitoring And Evaluating Your Investment Performance: 10 Of The Best Resources And Tools For Investors
22-Member Alliance Highlights Top Resources for Making Sure Your Investments Continue to Work for You
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- If you have already implemented a financial plan that includes investing and saving, you are heading in the right direction for a secure financial future. But once you have started investing, what are the next steps to make sure your money grows? The nonprofit Alliance for Investor Education (AIE), a consortium of America's top regulatory, nonprofit and industry organizations focused on investor education, is now making available in one place the best online resources monitoring and evaluating investment performance.
The AIE's new "Monitoring and Evaluating the Performance of Your Investments" is available at http://www.investoreducation.org/investmentperformance.
AIE President Sue Duncan, who also serves as vice president of the Investment Company Institute Education Foundation (ICIEF), said: "Successful investors know how to do two things: they choose investments suited to their own circumstances; and then they monitor and make ongoing decisions about those investments, especially as their circumstances change. We hear a lot about how to make investment decisions on the front-end, but relatively little about what to do after that point. The Alliance for Investor Education wants to make sure all investors have access to the best tools for monitoring and evaluating their investments. It's the key to staying on track to meet your financial goals, including a secure retirement."
