Asset Allocation

This is the process of spreading your money among different types of investments – such as stocks, bonds and cash equivalents – to achieve a specific investment goal.

Beneficiary

This is the person or persons who will receive the income or principal from the trust. This can be the grantor (and the grantor's spouse) during his or her lifetime and the grantor's children (or anyone else the grantor chooses to name) after the grantor's death.

Diversification

Spreading your money among different investments to reduce risk. When you diversify, your savings do not depend on the ups and downs of just one investment.

Dollar cost averaging

This is an investment strategy that takes advantage of regular investing over long periods of time. By investing the same amount of money each time, you buy fewer investment shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are lower. This may reduce your long term costs.
