well guys here we are once again is this thank you so much for all the support
you guys show me on this channel you guys are absolutely wonderful and I
really enjoy interacting with all of you now if you want to see more videos like
this just let me know by commenting or hitting that like button now the video
footage I'm about to show you today is really something I filmed back in 2017
late 2017 before I got my brand-new Canon DSLR camera so if you're wondering
what happened to the quality of the video footage that's why this is because
I filmed it with my old camera as you're about to see just a couple of things I
wanted to mention before we launch this video is that you're gonna hear what how
many funds I prefer to invest in now I've looked with him I companies 401 k
plan we have around 60 total funds and I spent hours and upon hours researching
them before deciding on how many of those funds and which funds I wanted to
pick so it might come as a bit of surprise how many funds I suggest you
pick in your 401 K but just hopefully you guys will find value in this now at
the end of the video I will show you using this strategy and I still use this
strategy 100% of how my performance for my 401 K ended as of the end of 2017 and
how where I'm at year-to-date in 2018 especially with the market being a
little choppy err with all the things going on right now in our economy and
with talks of tariffs and things like that so with that being said I hope you
guys enjoy the video! I hope you get something out of it and I'm sure you
guys might have some questions so feel free to drop questions and comments in
that comment section down below all right let's get that video started
thanks so much guys love you all
so how many investments should you have in your 401k fund that's what we're
gonna talk about today in this video what's up guys it's Mike also those
m'kay at the CPA and this is my sidekick chipper
how are you guys doing today I hope you've been having a wonderful week
my out weeks been pretty good if you're new to this channel I just want to take
a moment to say welcome highly consider subscribing because every single week I
produce new videos that are gonna help you with your personal finances your
investments taxes and things that are gonna help you not only in your career
but your everyday life a lot of questions I've been getting from people
just in my normal everyday life is like how many I know you make investment
videos but how many funds do you our investments do you think I should have
in my 401 K so I just wanted to take a moment to speak to you one-on-one about
this because I know it's really confusing I know you've gone through
school and you've now you're working in a professional position or a position of
some kind but nobody ever taught you this stuff so what I would recommend and
I'll just share with you what I do and all of this is just my personal opinion
if you find it helpful feel free to use this the rules of thumb I use but if you
don't find it helpful just do your own thing I mean it's totally up to you so
this is just my opinion and I am NOT a professional investor but what I do with
my 401 K and what I've learned over time is that some I've seen people open a 401
K and of course that once they start doing a monthly contribution to that 401
K regardless of the amount let's say it's $500 a month or up to $1,000
whatever it is sometimes people will choose 10 or 12 investments and what I
got to say to that is I think that's a little bit of an overkill
what I found for me to work the best is actually narrow my focus so I currently
in my 401k I only have four investments if you have less than $100,000 in your
account I would really only have between one to
four investments in your 401k now once you've exceeded that amount in
that all of these are just rules of thumb guys this something a guideline to
follow once you've exceeded a hundred thousand then from a hundred thousand to
two hundred thousand feel free to add on a couple more investments and you know
when you're at a million dollars if your account grows to that level at that
point add you know and maybe have ten to twenty-five investments but when you
have less than a hundred thousand dollars in your 401k which is most
people in America I would only invest between one or four things and you say
Mike well what if I'm not diversified enough well even sometimes people pick a
lot of different funds but a lot of those stocks in those funds actually are
making them not diversified so when you're choosing if you're choosing this
one to for investments take them home with the study what those funds are made
up of so that each funds you own even though you might only own three or four
is not gonna have the same stocks in it and that will give you still
diversification even though you only have a few funds so those are some
things to consider you don't have to go crazy with this guys just really what I
do is I'm letting my account grow to a hundred thousand dollars and then I will
add on more investments from there but just find the best four investments you
can for yourself and then proceed from there and just watch it grow that's
what's been working for me and so far as of November I think my account I looked
about a month ago it's up twenty-two percent this year because I very
carefully selected those four funds so take your time and carefully carefully
select the four funds the three or four funds that are gonna produce you the
highest rate of return in your 401k and of course you have to consider your age
and when you're gonna retire and all that kind of stuff but always consult
with this kind of stuff with your company's financial adviser or with a
financial adviser if your company doesn't have one all right guys that's
really all I have for you today let me know if that made sense if I didn't
explain something or I could explain something better I'm happy to answer any
questions you might have I'll answer them to the best of my
ability and you can just leave those questions down in the comment section
