退休族的四种投资选项
你担心退休后应该进行那种类型的投资吗？希望本文可以提供你一些退休族的投资产品作为参考。(Original article) 退休后的生活并非从此以后就可以天天逍遥快活。由于你已经不再工作，因此你或许会担心自己是否有足够的老本来维持自己想要的生活方式。 享受退休生活其实并不容易，而且你在退休后需要有新的财务目标，因此你必须选择可以让你感到安心的投资产品。 退休族的投资产品应具有以下特性： 低风险和低波动性 平稳的股息和收益 低管理成本 无需担心 退休族必须确保财务的稳定，所以追逐“至高利润”的投资目标已经是过去式了，你必须重新调整自己的投资目标来适应现有的退休生活。 以下的几种投资产品或许可以确保你拥有稳定的退休生活。 投资产品＃1：交易所交易基金(ETF) 近十年以来，“交易所交易基金”或者又称为“交易型开放式指数基金”（ETF）已经成为最重要的金融产品之一。它的创立让像你和我这样的平民百姓可以用很少的资金进行多样化的投资。 过去利用多样化的投资组合来分散风险是拥有庞大资本的富裕阶层的特权。富人通过尽可能进行多种的不同投资组合让自己（不会过度倚重任何特定的投资项目）（不会把所有的蛋都放在同一个篮子）。但是对于相对没有那么多资本的人来说是很难进行多样化的投资。但是ETF的创建改变了这个游戏规则。 交易所交易基金（ETF）的操作模式基本上是广泛的投资在一个特定的市场，例如一个特定的基础指数或一个特定的股票市场。你可以像在股票市场上购买任何上市公司的股票一样购买ETF。 你可以像购买Maybank的股票一样购买ETF。而且它的投资金额也是你绝对负担得起。所以你再也不必买入所有综合指数市场内大型公司的股票来分散您的投资风险了。 在大马交易所（Bursa Malaysia）网站上公布的ETF如下： •期货市场：TradePlus Shariah Gold Tracker •吉隆坡综合指数：FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI ETF •美国股市：MyETF Dow Jones U.S. Titans 50 •中国股市：TradePlus S&P [...]
