Topics
Ben Carlson: 本人对股票投资持有复杂情感,长期以来一直采用指数基金和目标日期基金等简单投资方式。选择个股投资需要进行多层次的思考,即使宏观判断正确,也可能因为公司自身原因而导致投资失败。因此,本人认为选择指数基金等简单投资方式更有效率。 此外,除了股票,还可以通过投资加密货币、艺术品、房地产等另类资产来获得投资乐趣和分散风险。个股投资的风险回报比并不总是对投资者有利,不如选择其他更轻松的投资方式。投资房产等不太容易受每日波动影响的资产,有助于培养长期投资思维。 在进行另类资产投资前,应确保其他财务规划(如退休金账户、紧急资金等)已妥善安排。加密货币等高风险投资应控制在一定比例,避免因价格波动造成过大损失或心理压力。即使是糟糕的投资计划也比没有计划好,因为至少它能提供一些指导,帮助投资者应对市场波动。 机构投资者和个人投资者的错误类型不同:机构投资者因过度自信而犯错,个人投资者因缺乏知识和规划而犯错。机构投资者和个人投资者在制定投资策略方面,其基本原则并无太大差异,都应关注风险状况、时间范围和资产配置等因素。 制定资产配置方案时,应考虑自身风险承受能力和市场波动情况,并根据自身情况调整现金和股票的比例。目标日期基金和机器人顾问是简单易用的投资工具,适合初学者。是否需要聘请理财顾问取决于个人时间、专业知识和财务状况的复杂程度。 年轻人应优先考虑退休账户,但如果需要资金用于购房首付等,可以适当减少退休账户的储蓄比例。目前低利率环境下,短期资金的投资选择有限,应优先考虑安全性而非高收益。紧急备用金不应投资于高风险高收益产品,而用于购置房产等大额支出时,可以考虑承担一定风险以获得更高收益。 在低利率环境下,合理利用杠杆进行投资可能比以往更有优势,但需注意风险控制。利用杠杆投资时,产生的利息支出通常可以抵扣投资收益,从而降低实际融资成本。短期内难以有效对冲通货膨胀,长期来看,股票市场是应对通货膨胀的最佳选择。长期持有股票是应对通货膨胀的有效策略,因为股票的股息会随着通货膨胀而增长。通胀保值债券(TIPS)是短期内应对通货膨胀的有效工具。 保持积极乐观的心态,并通过自动化储蓄、投资和还款等方式简化财务管理。将慈善捐赠自动化,可以帮助慈善机构更好地规划财务,也有利于个人养成良好的捐赠习惯。制定储蓄分配计划,将意外收入按比例分配到不同用途,并预留一部分用于随意支配。提高储蓄率比提高投资回报率更容易实现财富积累。 Chris Hutchins: 就个人而言,我同意Ben Carlson的观点,大部分资产都投资于长期多元化的指数基金,这虽然枯燥,但胜在稳定可靠。 对于短期资金的投资,我个人比较谨慎,倾向于选择安全性高的投资方式,即使收益较低。同时,我也会根据自身情况和风险承受能力,在不同投资产品之间进行适当的资产配置,以达到风险分散和收益最大化的目的。 在投资方面,我比较注重长期规划,并会根据自身情况和市场变化,定期调整投资策略。同时,我也会关注一些另类投资机会,但会控制投资比例,避免过度冒险。 对于财务规划,我个人比较注重自动化和简化,例如自动化储蓄、投资和还款等。同时,我也会定期回顾和调整财务计划,以确保其符合自身需求和目标。
