While saving for retirement and for a college education may be the two most common investment objectives, there certainly are many more. Other common investment objectives include saving for a home purchase or the expense of a wedding. However, virtually any future financial event could be an investment objective. As with any investment objective, it is important to identify the purpose, the time frame, the current  amount available to invest, the future  amount needed, and the amount of risk that can be accepted. Each set of circumstances will lead to the use of a unique set of investment tools. At ELIA International Consulting Services, we can help you to choose the proper investment tools to pursue your goals.
