Choosing the right fund for you
Risk tolerance: Consider your comfort level with potential investment losses. Money market funds offer the lowest risk, while dollar and fixed-income funds carry more risk but also the potential for higher returns.
Investment goals: Are you saving for a short-term goal or looking for long-term growth? Dollar and fixed-income funds can be suitable for long-term plans, while money market funds provide easy access to short-term needs.
Investment horizon: How long can you stay invested? Dollar and fixed-income funds may experience price fluctuations in the short term but tend to be more stable over longer periods.
Remember: Diversification is key to a healthy investment portfolio. Consider combining these Meristem funds with other investment options to spread your risk and achieve your financial goals.
