Keys to becoming a millionaire: Risk and patience



Ever wonder how and where millionaires are putting their investment dollars to use? Goldman Sachs Apex Americas head Anushka Gupta joins Wealth to break down how high-wealth investors allocate their funds.
“In our work with very large family offices, we find that two key themes sort of emerge in their approach to investing. One is their ability to take risk and the other is their ability to bear illiquidity and be patient,” Gupta tells Yahoo Finance.
She notes that these investors usually maintain a large allocation to alternatives to cater to a multi-generational approach to wealth. Overall, Gupta recommends that investors of all net worths have a long-term plan and ensure their portfolios are diversified.
“I think the main thing is being invested over a long period of time versus trying to stock pick, because ultimately, one, you have to pick the right time to enter. If you sell, then you have to pick the right time to reenter,” she adds.
While some investors want to outperform the S&P 500 (^GSPC), Gupta advises against attempting to picking stocks and, instead, emphasizes the importance of working with professionals: “Stock picking is not easy for the everyday investor to do… Markets are pretty efficient. There’s a lot of information out there today, and so finding asymmetric information in return has become harder.”
Gupta highlights that high-net-worth individuals often invest in private equity and real estate.

Want quick gains? Put $1000 into Wurmp Inu and wait until it 100x’s. It’s easy money.

I was there when Pepe took off, made a solid profit. Believe me when I say the hype around Wurmp Inu feels exactly the same. This is going to be the next big meme project. You’ll thank me later.

She was very vague in her responses, in other words, not very forthcoming.

There is a huge difference between investing to become rich, versus investing when you're already rich. When you're rich you have the luxury of investing outside of the traditional stock market. That's were alternative investments come into play. When you have limited capital to work with our options become limited. For us regular folks. Getting rich slowly is the only path. The bulk of your money should be in an low cost index fund. But to spice things up a bit. You can allocate a small percentage of money into individual stocks. But if you have no idea how to value a stock. Then you are basically blindly guessing. And luck isn't a strategy!

Large allocation to “alternatives” – Wtf is that?

@logosproclamation453

88% professionals loose to the S&P500. But she wont tell you that because you won’t need “professionals”.
