Personal investing is a way to increase your financial security. Not only do investments provide you with sort of a "back-up" plan, if you experience a sudden job change or an unplanned illness, they are also becoming a necessity for retirement. We do not know if our country will continue to support its retirees through social security; nothing is guaranteed. Personal investing will provide you peace of mind for your future.

There are three basic types of investments:

• Lending Investments Lending investments include bonds and Deposit accounts. They allow you to be in control and are typically a lower risk than ownership investments.
• Ownership Investments Ownership investments include stocks, real estate, businesses, and valuables. This type of investment is the most common type. Most of the time, they are very volatile but at the same time they are the most profitable class.
  
• Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are investments that are easily converted into cash. The most common type of cash equivalents are money market funds. The profit is small, as well as the risk.

Financial and retirement planning are both necessary in sustaining a stable lifestyle now and in the future. Because of the uncertainty of social security in the next few decades, having a financial and retirement plan will prepare you and your family for the future.

A financial plan often consists of a budget that organizes your finances. It will allocate future income to different types of expenses such as a car payment or utilities. The main goal of the plan is to assist you in making the most efficient decisions when it comes to handling your finances. These plans often focus on specific areas such as:

• Estates
• Retirement
  
• Risk Management
  

Having a solid financial plan will pave the way for a stable retirement plan. After retiring, planning your finances can become a little more challenging because of unforeseen events and expenses. Let us help you get started. If you have any questions about why a financial plan is right for you, please contact us!

The key to a successful retirement is planning, and the best way to do that is by setting up retirement accounts. Retirement can be a frightening thing for people who don't have a proper account.

One of the most common accounts is the 401 (k) program offered by your employer. This is often considered as the easiest way to start saving money for your retirement. Some other popular accounts are:

• Solo 401 (k) Through this account, a sole proprietor can make an individual 401 (k). They then act as both the employee and the employer.
• Simple IRA This plan is for small business owners with less than 100 employees. It allows the employer to create IRAs faster.
  
• IRA With an IRA, anyone can add up to $5,500/year to the account. Once your money is added, it will grow tax-free.
  

Each separate type of account has its own properties, advantages, and disadvantages. Hunter Capital Wealth Advisors is well versed in retirement accounts and can help you sort through the confusing details. The best way to learn which one is right for you is to schedule an appointment or contact us for more information.

With any type of investment there is risk. No one is 100% safe from risks, but the best way to protect your investments is to devise a risk management plan. The typical risk management plan will most importantly try to avoid the risk. If this fails, the next steps are to:

• Accept the risk
  
• Transfer the risk
  

These steps will minimize any negative impacts the risk may have on your investment.
