What Are Your Retirement Goals?

A Woman appears on the Screen Wearing a navy suit, sitting in an office. She begins to speak.

A banner identifies her as Paige Tyson, Fisher Investment Capital Markets Research Analyst.

On behalf of Fisher Investments and its affiliates.

A white screen appears with a title saying “Common Investing Goals:”

It is followed by 4 branch titles:

“Grow the Portfolio”, “Reach a Targeted Amount”, “Maintain Purchasing Power "and “Spend it all”.

Paige Tyson appears on screen again talking.

Paige Tyson: Before developing a retirement strategy, you should have a clear understanding of your financial goals and objectives. Think about this answer not just as a dollar amount, but what exactly would you need your funds to accomplish?

Many investors' goals generally fall into one of these categories: To grow the value of your portfolio as much as possible, to reach a specific portfolio value, to maintain the value of your portfolio relative to inflation over time, or to spend everything in the portfolio.

Understanding your retirement goals will help you as you consider crafting your long-term investing strategy. But other factors can influence your strategy as well.

Paige Tyson finished talking, and a Series of disclosures appears on screen: alone with a YouTube subscribe button, “Investing is Securities involves a risk of loss.
