0.000 HBDUnified or Separate Portfolio For Goals
I was reading somewhere that people have started going with Unified Portfolio for all their goals which means they will invest a monthly sum of some amount in a single portfolio for all the financial goals. The portfolio will grow and when the time for each goal comes, the sum will be withdrawn accordingly.  PC: Pixabay.com Say, for example, a person might have 5 goals, now for all the goals he will maintain the same portfolio and withdraw money from this portfolio for every goal and the final value of the portfolio should be equal to the last goal which is usually the retirement goal.  The chart will somewhat evolve like this where the dips you are seeing are nothing but redemption made to fulfil the financial goals and at the last, you have the corpus for the retirement goal. So here the main aim is to find that investment amount every month taking all the goals into consideration, including inflation, return and duration for each goal. This strategy looks good why because it is simple i.e. fewer funds to manage as well as the investment amount is significantly lower than the amount if the goals are tracked separately. Now the thing investors ask is whether to go with Unified or Separate Portfolio for Goals. Now the Unified portfolio is good to some extent but thinks about a scenario where you have a goal for 5 years and 15 years. You cannot have the same asset allocation for both the goals right. So again the Unified portfolio works well for only the long term goals and also if all the long term goals are 12 or 15 plus after like a Kid's Education, Marriage, and Retirement. This is why I prefer to manage them individually under separate portfolios. I may start off with a 60% equity allocation but with time, this will change (decrease) for goals like my son’s education and not retirement. In fact, I now use 100% equity for his marriage (not a top priority to me and I am not investing enough for it. Can’t rather.). For me, an individual portfolio works better, because it allows me to track the goals better and have appropriate risks attached to each portfolio. So which portfolio are you managing?
