The first step to building a portfolio? Choosing the right asset mix.
A diversified portfolio may include:
✅ Cash
✅ Stocks
✅ Bonds
✅ Mutual funds and ETFs
Each plays a different role. Some help manage and grow your money, others add stability or spread out your risk. The key is finding the mix that fits your goals, timeline and comfort level.

If investing feels like the one thing you haven’t been able to cross off your checklist, don’t stress.
The key is getting started—no matter the amount. And when you’re in your 20s and 30s, time is on your side. Small contributions today can turn into meaningful growth over time.
