These calculators are great tools to help inform any decisions you make about your investing and saving. Visit: World Investor Week
Diversification – Diversification is a strategy where you spread your money among different investments to reduce your overall investment risk. By picking the right mix of investments, you may be able to limit your losses and reduce the fluctuations of your investment returns without sacrificing too much in potential gains.

Having an Emergency Fund – An emergency fund is rainy day money you keep in a bank or credit union to use for an unexpected expense, like a cracked screen on your phone, car repair, or family emergency. If you don’t have an emergency fund, even a small financial upset can result in a long-term debt. Visit: World Investor Week
Be Skeptical of High Guaranteed Returns – Be skeptical of any investment opportunity that promises high investment returns with little or no risk. High guaranteed returns are a hallmark of investment fraud. Visit: World Investor Week
Losing More Than You Can Invest – All investments have risk and you should never invest more money than you can afford to lose. Be aware that in some cases, however, you can lose more money than you invested, such as with options, using margin, or selling short. Visit: World Investor Week
ESG Investing – “ESG” stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG investing is a way of investing in companies based on their commitment to one or more ESG factors. It is often also called sustainable investing, socially responsible investing, and impact investing. Visit: World Investor Week
Crypto Assets Can be Volatile & Speculative with Platforms Possibly Lacking Protections for Investors – Investments in crypto asset securities can be exceptionally volatile and speculative, and the platforms where investors buy, sell, borrow, or lend these securities may lack important protections for investors.
