Read More »If you’re looking to invest $25,000 you’ve saved up, received as a work bonus, or otherwise, you’re likely wondering what to invest in right now. The fact is, there’s no “best” way to invest money that works for every person. But you can figure out your individual path by asking yourself a few questions—and the great news is that you have lots of investing options. 4 questions to consider before investing 1. Do you have an emergency fund that’s large enough? Whenever you have some money to play with, it’s easy to think ahead to how you might invest your money and make that cash pile grow. But just about every personal finance expert would suggest investors ensure they have their financials in order first. Crucially, most experts say, investors should have an emergency fund that’s large enough to cover at least three to six months’ worth of household expenses. If something unexpected happens that affects an investor’s income, like a job layoff or medical event, it’s important that they have savings to tap for the mortgage or rent, food, car loans, gas, and all of the other costs it takes to keep their household going. If your emergency fund is too small—or nonexistent—it’s a good idea to consider putting your money here first to protect against those possible life events. 2. What are your goals for this money? Your $25,000 may be able to help you achieve goals you’ve set for yourself or your family for the near, middle, or long term future. How far into the future your goal might be is your time horizon. Those with a long time horizon—young workers saving for retirement, for example—may have a greater appetite for risk because they have longer to recover from any losses. Those with a short time horizon may be more risk averse. Personal values can also factor into your goals. Socially responsible investing—focusing on companies with a solid track record in environmental, social, and governance issues (ESG) and eschewing those they see as bad for society, such as alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and fossil fuels—is one way that investors can align their dollars with their beliefs. 3. How risky of an investment am I comfortable with? Risk tolerance is an investor’s willingness to potentially take a loss. Speaking generally, the level of risk moves inversely to the possible reward: Lower-risk investments like bonds usually have the benefit of steady but modest growth, with a limited potential for a big payday. High-risk investments such as cryptocurrencies are the opposite, with often volatile action that may bring big wins or significant losses. Risk tolerance generally falls into one of three categories: Aggressive . Willing to accept volatility and risk for the possibility of a large return.

Diversification is the opposite of putting your nest eggs in one basket. It’s an investment strategy focused on spreading money across different types of assets—like a mix of stocks, index funds, real estate, bonds, and more. This strategy may help investors’ money to grow while also mitigating risk: If one investment or asset class at large takes a dive, other assets may keep the wider portfolio still performing well on balance. 5 ways to invest $25,000 1. CD ladder A lower-risk investment option for your $25,000 is a certificate of deposit (CD). It’s a savings account alternative that offers fixed interest rates that are typically higher than banks’ rates. CDs have terms of different lengths, from as short as a month to as long as several years—the longer the term, typically the higher the interest rate. CDs’ rates are locked in for the duration of the term, so they stay the same whether federal interest rates rise or fall. But investors also usually can’t access the money until the term ends, unless they’re willing to pay a penalty. So some create a “CD ladder,” spreading their money across multiple CDs with different maturity dates—say, $1,000 each in a one-year CD, a two-year, a three-year, a four-year, and a five-year. When one CD term ends they can choose to reinvest it in a five-year to get the better interest rate, and by the time their original five-year CD matures they’re on a schedule that has a five-year CD maturing each year. They can keep reinvesting to continue the ladder, or pull out the cash. Try Titan’s free Investment Calculator to project your potential investment returns. Learn more
