Invest in Companies and Grow Your Wealth

Investment management is not easy, and when you have $5 million to $500 million worth of liquid assets at stake, it only gets more difficult and riskier. At this point, some high-net-worth individuals and families choose not to invest at all, which can be even worse. Not only do they miss out on many opportunities to grow their wealth, but they also face the risk of running out of their wealth well before they even reach retirement. On the other hand, there are some high-net-worth individuals who choose to tackle their investments on their own, which can also be dangerous. With their limited experience, they never know whether to invest in companies or real estate or how to design an effective portfolio. So, then what’s the solution? Investment companies. These individuals need to work with good investment companies that can effectively help them grow their wealth. High and ultra-high-net-worth individuals looking to invest their wealth should request a copy of our book, 7 Secrets to High Net Worth Investment Management, Estate, Tax, and Financial Planning, to understand why it is so important to work with these investment companies

Can You Invest in Companies?

For many high-net-worth individuals who are new to investment management, the market can be a confusing place. There are many assets to choose from, and it’s hard to tell what you can invest in and what you can’t.

One of the most common questions new investors tend to have is whether they can invest in companies? Big corporations are often making headlines, and it’s tempting to invest in them so that you can make some profit from their success in the industry.

But, is it actually possible to invest your money in such companies? Fortunately, the answer is yes. Usually, there are two ways you can invest in companies: stocks or bonds.

You should also consider consulting our expert financial advisors at Pillar Wealth Management to learn about some other investment assets that could help boost your portfolio.

1. Stocks

The first way you can invest in a company is by buying a company’s shares or stocks. These give you partial ownership in the company, and as an owner, you enjoy certain benefits. Sometimes, you can cast votes on important decisions.

More importantly, you are entitled to a fraction of the profits earned by the company in the form of dividends. Depending on some factors, you might not always receive a dividend, for example, if the company did not perform well that year.

However, if the business does really well, you can even earn more dividends than you had expected. So, stocks can be risky, but they offer great returns as well. You can also sell your shares later on in the market for a profit if they have increased in value.

Although, if their price falls in the market, you would be at a loss. We recommend going through our detailed and eye-opening guide on improving portfolio performance to learn about all the complex processes involved in designing a successful portfolio.

2. Bonds

The second way you can invest in a company is through bonds. Stocks and bonds are both ways that a company can raise funds for its operations. However, where stocks allow you partial ownership, bonds are a debt for the company issuing them.

When people invest in a company’s bonds, they are basically lending that money to the company. They will pay you interest at a fixed rate on that loan every year till the bond matures and you receive your original amount back.

As compared to stocks, bonds are relatively less influenced by market forces. You are usually guaranteed to get your interest payments every year. The only time you face any risk is if the company goes entirely bankrupt, in which case, they might not be able to return your loan.

Therefore, overall, bonds are less risky than stocks. But, they also offer lower returns. For instance, over the long term, if stocks offer a rate of return at 10%, bonds usually offer around 5 to 6%. However, this depends on many factors.

Besides that, while stocks are primarily issued by companies, bonds can be issued by governments as well, which tend to be even safer and are sometimes even tax-free. Check out our fantastic guide on portfolio growth strategies to discover other investment tricks to help you cut down on taxes.

How Do You Invest in a Company?

Now that you know that you can invest in companies, you will be eager to start adding stocks and bonds to your investment portfolio. However, it’s not as simple as that. Before you invest in companies, you have to put in a lot of time and effort to find the right assets according to your needs.

First off, you need to decide which industry you want to invest in. There are many industries out there that offer high profits or have a lot of growth potential in the future. There could even be certain industries that you strongly believe in or are simply interested in them. Therefore, you have to search and pick your desired industry.

Once you’ve chosen the industry, you need to choose exactly which company or companies you want to invest in. Again, there will be dozens and dozens of companies to choose from. Moreover, unlike industries, companies tend to be very different. From their operation style to values to business philosophy, every company can be vastly different.

Therefore, you will have to conduct deeper research and due diligence for any potential company you may be interested in. You will have to go through their financial reports to assess their potential and perhaps even use some analysis tools and software to evaluate the company’s future performance.

You will have to repeat this entire process for any asset you are considering, be that stock, bond, or any other investment asset such as real estate, mutual funds, etc.

After that, you will have to decide how to distribute your considerable wealth across these different assets to design a portfolio that is safe from risk but also offers high returns. Start a quick chat with our financial advisors to find out what else you need to do.

Which is the Best Investment Company?

As you might have realized, even just deciding to invest in companies takes so much time and effort. This doesn’t even include all the effort and expertise you will need to monitor your investments and rebalance your portfolio as the market fluctuates.

Therefore, this is not something you can afford to do on your own with your limited experience, skills, and time. What you need is the best investment company that can help you manage your investments in an efficient and effective way. However, again, finding the best investment company is not easy.

There are many financial institutes out there that will make big claims and promises but eventually not really help you achieve your actual goals in life. So, here are a few things that high-net-worth individuals need to check before choosing to work with any investment company.

• Credentials and certifications

• Experience in offering investment services as well as in dealing with affluent clients

• Standard of care that prioritizes client’s best interests

• Compensation that does not cause conflicts of interest

• Dedicated advisor for assisting clients

• Personalized financial solutions

For better understanding, we suggest high-net-worth individuals with the intent to invest in companies to request a copy of our book, 7 Secrets to High Net Worth Investment Management, Estate, Tax, and Financial Planning, where we not only outline the important aspects of high-net-worth investment management but also explain how to identify an unbiased and skilled financial advisor according to their needs.

How Much Money Do You Need to Invest in Companies?

If you are simply investing yourself, you could invest in companies with as little as $50. However, as mentioned earlier, investing on your own without the help of a professional can be dangerous. If you are young, with no dependents, and have a net worth of around $10,000 or $50,000, you can still afford to invest on your own.

But, as you grow older and begin a family and take on more responsibilities, and most importantly, become a high-net-worth individual, you will need to enlist the help of experts and professionals, such as the financial advisors at Pillar Wealth Management. In such a case, you will need at least $1 million worth of liquid assets to qualify to work with such firms.

Certain private banks do offer investment management services for $100,000 minimum, but these institutions are not great for effective investment and portfolio management. Read our book, The Art of Protecting Ultra-High Net Worth Portfolios and Estates – Strategies for Families Worth $25 million to $500 million, to discover the different situations as well as the type of advisors that could put your assets at risk and how to protect your wealth effectively.

Final Thoughts

As a high-net-worth individual with $5 million to $500 million in liquid assets, investing your wealth is important, whether you choose to invest in companies, real estate, or any other investment asset. However, it’s even more important that you partner with the right investment company for it.

These investment companies have much more experience and expertise, which allows them to develop strong portfolios that offer high returns at low risks and costs. They know how to diversify as well as rebalance your portfolio as needed. They can even help with tax and retirement planning. Therefore, it’s in your best interests to hire a good investment company for yourself as soon as possible.

We offer holistic wealth management services for affluent clients, which include retirement planning, estate planning, insurance planning, and much more.
