The canine: Stay sharp and doggedly determined

Sharp and determined, canine investors are keenly aware that knowing one’s own investing self is key.

It’s no secret that dogs have a high level of self-awareness, with the ability to recognise their own scent and identify with their own pack. In fact, a dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than humans.1

Similarly, canine investors are highly aware of their financial needs and actions necessary to achieve them. Recognising and listing a set of financial goals will help you to put things in perspective and encourage you to make the necessary moves in the market that will help to achieve your objectives.

To ensure that you are on the right trail, study changes in the market, assess your risk tolerance and regularly check the growth of your investments. This will help enable you to jump on investment opportunities and protect your portfolio from potentially devastating losses.
