By COREY SYLVESTERIt’s summer again – time for many of us

to take a break andpossibly hit the openroad. But even if yougo on vacation, youwon’t want yourinvestments to do thesame – in summertimeor any other season.How can you helpmake sure yourportfolio continues towork hard for you all

year long? Here are a few suggestions: • Avoid owning too many “low growth”

investments. As you know, differentinvestments have different characteristicsand can help you in different ways. Forexample, you typically own stocks becauseyou want them to grow in value so that youcan eventually sell them for a profit. Otherinvestments, such as certificates of deposit(CDs), provide you with a regular source ofincome and stability of principal – twovaluable contributions to your portfolio.However, investments like CDs don’t offer

much in the way of growth. So if you owntoo many of them, you might be slowingyour progress toward your importantfinancial goals, such as a comfortableretirement.

You can maximize the productivity ofyour portfolio by owning a variety ofinvestments – domestic stocks, internationalstocks, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasurysecurities, CDs and more. How much ofeach investment should you own? Theanswer depends on a variety of factors,including your age, income, risk tolerance,family situation and specific objectives.Over time, your ideal investment mix maychange, but you’ll likely need at least somegrowth potential at every stage of your life.

• Don’t let your portfolio go“unsupervised.” Your investment portfoliocan be subject to “drift” if left alone forextended time periods. In fact, without yourmaking any moves at all, your portfolio canmove in directions that may not be favorableto you. Suppose you think your holdingsshould be made up of 70% stocks, but dueto strong gains, your stocks now make up80% of your portfolio. This developmentcould lead to a risk level that feels

uncomfortably high to you. That’s why youshould review your portfolio at least once ayear, possibly with the help of a financialprofessional, to check your progress andmake adjustments as needed.

• Don’t stop at the nearest “restingplace.” Some people hope that if they canget that one “winner,” they will triumph inthe investment arena. But the ability to “getrich quick” is much more of a myth than areality. True investment success typicallyrequires patience, persistence and theresilience to continue investing even duringmarket downturns.

In other words, investing is a long-termendeavor, and you need a portfolio that

reflects this reality. The investment movesyou make today may pay off for you decadesfrom now. You need to establish your goalsand keep them constantly in mind as youinvest. And you will never really reach theend of your investment journey, becauseyou’ll need to make choices and manageyour portfolio throughout your retirementyears.

Hopefully, you will enjoy a pleasantvacation sometime this summer. But yourinvestment portfolio shouldn't take time off.
