Investing One Million Dollars

For the average person, one million dollars is a huge sum of money that can go a very long way.  For the wealthy it remains a great deal of money, but if the decision has been made by a wealthy person to invest it as wisely as possible, what are the best investments?  Whomever one speaks with, there will be differing opinions and advice forthcoming, and an investment in a particular market may be wise one day, but perhaps not the way to proceed the next day.  Markets fluctuate, trends shift quickly, and especially if investing such a large sum for the first time it can be an intimidating experience.

Diversification

Regardless of the financial climate, investments can be driven by so many factors, including simply seeking the greatest possible short- or long-term ROI; the temptation of exploring ‘trendy’ markets (such as within the art world), or aesthetically pleasing possibilities like investing in fine wines or emerging creative talents.  With so many options on the table, perhaps diversification is the key?  As opposed to placing the entire amount into one investment product, investing substantial sums - totalling $1 million, across various asset classes - considerably reduces an investor’s risk via a much safer strategy.

Building Your Portfolio

The services of an IFA (Independent Financial Advisor) or wealth management company can greatly assist in building such a well-balanced portfolio, which could include equities, property, art, precious metals, or any chosen combination of enticing investment options.  With the global financial health in an ever-shifting state of flux many investors are employing this strategy of spreading risk across the asset classes, rather than go all in on any given class.
