Growth For The Long Term

This is Jeff Wareham, ScotiaMcLeod Wealth Advisor, with some thoughts for investors outgrowing their mutual funds. This winter, and this market, seem to remain chilly for far longer than most of us would want. Regardless, the chill will break eventually, but it can be pretty depressing in the interim. Warren Buffet spent this morning reminding investors of the value of buying good businesses for the long term. He suggested that investors not worry about daily valuations of their investments, and focus on the quality of the franchise value of the companies you own. There is great wisdom in this approach. but it is hard to do this by buying a few mutual funds. A portfolio constructed of a number of good businesses makes sense for an investor seeking growth for the long term.
