A future with more choice starts with understanding your options. Explore saving, investing and retirement planning in the context of your goals, your commitments and the time ahead.
Retirement, a child’s education, a home or a legacy: the reason matters. So does when you might need the money and how a loss could affect your plans.
Consider your emergency savings, everyday commitments, debts and insurance protection alongside any investment. Savings for unexpected expenses serve a different purpose from money committed for the longer term.
A fund should make sense before it makes your shortlist.
Explore four mutual funds through Sagicor Asset Management and exchange-traded funds through Sagicor E Brokerage. The fund’s actual holdings, objectives, costs and access rules deserve a closer look.
Sagicor Asset Management
Sagicor Global Balanced Fund
Explore a fund that brings shares and bonds into one portfolio.
Mutual-fund account opening currently starts at BBD $500, with additional contributions from BBD $100. Confirm the applicable minimums and current terms before sending money.
Explore local share trading, fixed-income transactions and investment management. Bring your questions to BIAI so we can connect you with the appropriate team.
Sagicor Asset Management
Local share trading
Explore buying or selling shares on the Barbados Stock Exchange.
An investment may generate interest or distributions, change in value, or both. Reinvesting returns can contribute to compounding; neither returns nor growth are guaranteed.
Risk and diversification
Spreading investments across different assets can reduce reliance on one holding. It does not remove market risk or prevent losses. Age alone cannot determine an appropriate portfolio.
Time and access
Ask how redemptions work, how long withdrawals take and whether there are charges or restrictions. Money needed soon calls for a different conversation from a distant retirement goal.
Fees, inflation and currency
Compare all relevant costs and consider how inflation affects purchasing power. International investing also raises questions about currency conversion, tax and returning funds to Barbados.
