In investment, we often hear: don't put your eggs in one basket, diversify your investments, and learn to invest in a portfolio. If all the funds are used to buy a wealth management product, once the product has problems, it may be that your own funds have suffered heavy losses.
But the so-called portfolio investment is not simply using our own funds to buy different wealth management products. We can choose a combination of low-risk products and high-risk products.
Low-risk wealth management products have low risks but relatively low returns, such as government bonds, bank time deposits, bank wealth management, bond funds and so on.
High-risk products have high returns, which can make your assets appreciate rapidly, but the risks are uncontrollable, and people with insufficient financial management experience can easily cause losses. For example: stocks, stock funds, gold and so on.
According to the statistics of Zhongyin.com Data Center, the word "financial management" first appeared in the late 1990s. With the expansion of China's stock and bond markets, the enrichment of commercial banks and retail businesses, and the increase of citizens' overall income year by year, the concept of "financial management" has gradually become popular. Personal financial management can be roughly divided into personal assets and personal liabilities, including funds, stocks, bonds, deposits, life insurance, gold and online loans. Belong to personal assets; Personal housing mortgage loan and personal consumption credit belong to personal liabilities.
