Investing Basics
with Stephen Daley, Financial Advisor for Smith Barney
Whether you are just beginning or a novice investor, a check-up on the fundamentals of investing are always in order. At this program, Steve will discuss:
Why you should invest
What steps to take before you start an investment plan
The basics of assembling a portfolio
The principles of diversification

Financial Planning in an Uncertain World
with Stephen Daley, Financial Advisor for Smith Barney
Experts have long agreed that an essential element of investment success is having a sound financial plan, one that takes into account the investor’s resources, goals, and tolerance for risk. But any such plan is based on assumptions about future market performance, a highly uncertain business at best. Uncertainty can’t be avoided, but advanced planning tools can at least give investors a clearer idea of the risks they face. This presentation reviews a number of critical points, such as:
·The limitations of conventional planning methods, particularly for investors with more complex goals and time horizons.
·How market volatility and the timing of future portfolio cash flow timing can upset even the most carefully thought-out financial plan.
·The use of probability-based simulations to test investment scenarios.
Date: Tuesday, November 28, 2006
