Three Beginner Investment Asset

John Pettey studied economics at Worcester College, Oxford University. Between 2005 and 2006, he was an investment analyst with Polygon Investment Partners in New York. A board member of Red River CDJR in Heber Springs, John Pettey is interested in private equity and investment asset allocation.

Asset allocation means dividing or allocating investment funds between diverse asset classes such as bonds, equity, stocks, or cash to minimize investment risks. Here are three asset allocation tips for a beginner:

1. Diversify your assets

Diversifying your investments across assets helps manage risk better. If one asset class fails to give good returns, you might counteract losses in that category with another asset class performing better in terms of investment returns.

2. Avoid moving assets in the short term

The temptation to shift funds from one asset class to another based on performance in the short term should be avoided. Juggling between investments and assets is costly and, over the long term, may prove futile. For example, when investing in equity, allocating funds with a long-term view is ideal.

3. Undertake periodic rebalancing

You need to analyze and rebalance your portfolio periodically. To assess the actual asset allocation of your portfolio, quantitatively categorize the different investments and determine their respective values in proportion to the whole.

Hunting in the Wapanocca National Wildlife

As executive vice president of Dobbs Equity Partners in Memphis, Tennessee, John Pettey builds upon roughly two decades of experience in the financial service and investment sectors. When he isn’t working, John Pettey is an avid hunter.

One of the most popular hunting destinations close to Memphis is the Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge, which is just over the state line into Arkansas. Although its primary purpose is to provide a protected habitat for migratory birds, it also embraces on-grounds hunting as an effective wildlife management tool.

Wapanocca offers designated Refuge permits to qualified gun and bow hunters. To hunt deer with a firearm, however, hunters must acquire an additional quota permit. Deer hunters using a gun can only employ legal pistols, shotguns with slugs, and muzzleloaders to take home a single buck or doe. Bag limits for other animals are generally the same as Arkansas state limits. Popular quarry species in Wapanocca range from rabbit and squirrel to opossum and feral hog.
