What is a growth investment style?
A growth investment style prioritises capital growth in your investment. This is also applicable to a more aggressive 'high growth' investment style.
This type of investing is often high-risk and requires you to have a tolerance for risk and volatility. Typically, investors employing a growth strategy are unable to have immediate access to their investment.
If this style is for you, a longer-term investment is to be expected and while a growth strategy comes with high-risk, high returns may follow.
Suitable to help achieve financial goals such as:
- Investing on behalf of children
- Children’s education
- Retirement/Superannuation
- Building wealth outside of super
Timeframe
Designed for investors with an investment timeframe of 5-7 years.
Asset allocation
Generally, the asset allocation for a growth portfolio would include 20% defensive assets (cash, bonds, fixed interest) and 80% growth assets (shares, infrastructure, listed property).
