|
| The “buy and hold” philosophy |
|
| First Trust® portfolios adhere to a “buy and hold” philosophy.This philosophy maintains that it is far better to purchase
a well-chosen portfolio and to hold it for a period of time, rather than “playing the market.”This helps eliminate
emotional investing and the temptation to buy and sell for various reasons that an investor cannot control: the
volatility of the stock market, interest rates, inflation and the overall economy, political elections, or the latest
investment fad.This philosophy requires an investor to have patience and discipline rather than looking only for
short-term performance.This approach has the potential to reward investors over the long term while allowing them
to be less concerned with the day-to-day fluctuations of the markets.Of course, should your needs ever change,
First Trust® portfolios can be liquidated on a daily basis at the redemption price, which may be more or less than the
original purchase price. |
