Investment strategies should be modified for each stage in life for financial security and success.

In early adulthood, the goal is to invest for financial growth. Investments are risky, but yield the financial benefits needed.

People in their 20s and 30s are at the beginning of their careers. So can afford to take more risks and should consider investing in equities as they don't have much to lose and they can start again from scratch

As mid-life comes around, the main focus shifts from financial growth to financial accumulation and sustainability.

During mid-life, most of the investments go into real estate, bonds, and other constantly growing investments.

As the retirement stage comes closer, the focus shifts to income generation and capital preservation.

With retirement approaching, there should be a heavy allocation towards more stable assets for sustaining retirement years.

Adjustments and rebalancing are key at every life stage. As your life circumstances change, so should your investment strategy.

The ‘Rule of 100’ is a popular thumb rule for asset allocation based on life stages. Subtract your age from 100, and that proportion becomes the proportion of equity investments.

Having a strong investment portfolio tailor-made to each life stage is essential for financial security and success. Start investing early, maintain discipline, and adjust your strategy as you move through different life stages.
