Long-Term Investing
Many sales people, writers, and investment companies claim that one
should buy and hold investments for the long-term. However, not every
investment product works effectively the longer one holds it given equal
rates of return assumptions. The potential management fees, income taxes,
lost opportunity costs, inflation, and estate taxes can substantially
reduce or negate much of the growth some investments create in the long
run. These facts may necessitate the use of other cash flow techniques in
the planning process in order to protect any investments from these
potential eroding factors.
Most investments have choices as to what to do with dividends, capital
gains, and interest. The LEAP SYSTEM can show you how to coordinate and
integrate these choices to help protect the investments from income taxes,
estate taxes, creditors, and other eroding factors.
Note: Investments involve market risk, including fluctuating returns and
possible loss of principal.
