An investing philosophy is the set of core beliefs and rules that should guide every money decision you make. Define it clearly, based on your goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, and evidence. This way you should be able to reduce emotional mistakes, simplify portfolio choices, and stay consistent through market ups and downs. Over time, such consistency can build durable, long-term wealth.
Without a clear investing philosophy, however, you’ll constantly second-guess yourself. You’ll react to headlines, chase trends, and become overwhelmed by options.
