 | Time in market vs timing the marketBuilding wealth is about buying quality assets – equities, bonds, or unit trusts – and allowing time to help you build value. On this journey, learn how to identify what is a good quality asset and the benefits of having a diversified portfolio. Investors learning how to invest might also ask when to invest. Naturally, it is obvious to jump in at the lows and cash out at the highs, but no one can predict the peaks and valleys of market returns. Instead of timing the market, riding it out over a longer period might reap better benefits. Click here to find out which type of investor are you on our DBS Financial Planning website.
