Investing accurately through strategic wealth planning

How strategically are you investing right now?

This is one of the most important questions for investors to ask themselves constantly, as having the right strategies in place can have a huge impact on your investment accuracy and overall wealth building.

This leads to the next important question – how do you invest strategically?

We’ve put together a few strategies to increase your investment accuracy when wealth planning:

Align your risk with your situation

Risk is one of the key fundamentals of investing, and by paying close attention to how your risk aligns with your financial situation, you can make more accurate investments.

To give an example, you may be looking to build wealth over a long period without putting too much capital at risk. In this case, you could consider investing in a liquid fund for a more low-risk, diversified approach.

On the other hand, if you want to increase your potential for return in a short period, you could consider a high-risk portfolio investment.

Consider tax-efficient investments

Have you considered how tax is impacting your investments, and better yet, how you can use allowances to maximise your savings?

You can strategically invest a certain amount each year in specific tax-wrapper accounts, to help shelter your money from tax whilst you grow it.

A private pension is a perfect example. You can invest up to £60,000 in your pension each year without paying tax – as of the 2023/2024 tax year.

This can help you benefit from successful investments without needing to pay Income or Capital Gains Tax for instance.

Keep your goals at the forefront

Another way to incorporate strategy into your investments is by keeping your future goals at the forefront of every decision.

For example, if you have ambitions centred around building your retirement pot, then you can focus your investments on pensions and potentially Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs).

Or, if you want to leave an inheritance behind, you can explore what type of investments are best suited to ensure your estate is inherited tax efficiently by your loved ones.

This process can help you make more accurate investments to further your finances toward your goals as efficiently as possible.

Implement wealth-building tools

The last, but certainly not least important way to strategically invest with more accuracy is to use wealth-building tools.

These advanced platforms can help you closely monitor and manage your wealth with accurate forecasting of your future investments. You can plan how you might invest in the future by changing certain variables (contributions, withdrawals, risk levels, etc.).

This can help ensure your plan has an intelligent, data-driven strategy behind it that’s best suited to building your wealth effectively.
