Growing your financial portfolio during a pandemic
Dr Melvin D’lima

Pandemics are not new. We have experienced Cholera, Spanish Flu and others. This COVID 19 pandemic has caught the world literally flat footed. The economic impact on households and individuals has been catastrophic.

Nothing is the same. The economic system predicated on supply and demand has shifted to essential goods and services. Businesses have been hard hit. Business models are changing. Has yours ? Your financial investments took a hit with the drop in interest rates. Indeed you made hay in the halcyon days of good returns on investment. Things have changed radically and how?

What better time to consolidate your financial assets, settle for a reasonable return on investment and secure the uncertain future. We all know we are in a buyers market. That plot of land, those cars and other toys you loved cannot realize the kind of money you think you are worth.

So we are down to your cash. You may just have more than enough. After all you can only buy so much toilet paper, face masks and food. You are a prime candidate for investing in a Money Market Fund for the short term, where you can access your money at very short notice and in a Wealth Management fund for the longer haul (where you lock the principal and daily interest for 3, 6 or 12 months).

I am a Business and Life Coach who is a  Financial Advisor with Britam. You may want to meet me for a virtual meeting. Like this post and inbox me so that I can book a Zoom meeting where we can discuss your options for thriving socially and economically midst the change. Make this your Best Year Yet
