Building a basic portfolio

🎯 Goal: Split capital across asset types (safe/growth) by risk tolerance and time horizon.
A portfolio splits capital across asset types. Low risk/short horizon → more safe assets; young/long horizon → can hold more growth assets.

Let’s explore

🧺
Split: safe part (deposits/bonds) + growth part (funds/stocks).
🎚️
Younger, longer horizon → can take more risk (more growth).
🛡️
Always keep a safe part and emergency fund; not all in risky assets.

Practice activity

🧮 10M, split 70% growth / 30% safe — how much each?
Worked example: 10M: 70% growth = 7M (funds/stocks), 30% safe = 3M (deposits/bonds). If cash is needed soon, lower the growth part to reduce risk.
