They are not sure what to do to maximize returns in light of stock market fluctuations, new tax laws, low interest rates and skyrocketing real estate values. “ People are afraid of making a mistake and losing more money, ” says financial counselor Denise Hughes. “ The do it yourself investor of the 1990s is more fortable now doing nothing.” But doing nothing isn39。t better than doing something smart. Here39。s what financial advisors are remending to their clients: Plan for financial aid. Most parents don39。t save nearly enough for children39。s education. They assume that investing in a 529 plan is the best place for your savings. While a 529 plan offers tax173。free growth and withdrawals for college costs, colleges look at these savings when evaluating their qualification and how much they will hand over. Do save aggressively for college in a taxable account in your name if your household ine is below $100, 000. In this case, your child will likely qualify for some financial aid. Do invest in a 529 plan if your ine is higher than $100,000 and will likely remain at or above that level when your child enters college. In this case, the 529 plan is great because you probably won39。t qualify for financial aid anyway. Expect ups and downs.

Do look at stock funds that pay dividends(紅利 ). Dividends on stocks used to be taxed at your personal ine tax rate. Under the new law, they are now taxed at no more than 15%. Investing in these funds will not only hold down taxes but also sustain your portfolio39。s value in tough times. Fet high fees. Over the next ten years, achieving the kind of double173。digit returns we experienced over the past 20 years will be much harder. In the 1990s, the average rate of returns for a portfolio allocated 60% to stocks and 40% to bonds was % after taxes and transaction expenses. Over the ing decade, this rate is expected to be closer to %. Don39。t pay unnecessarily high investment costs and fees. For example, if you can save half a percentage point on your fund expense ratio(the fee that funds charge you each year to manage your money), your average investment return could be 6% instead of 5%.
