McLean, VA (PRWEB) August 10, 2009 -- Folio Investing and 7Twelve announce that they now provide 7Twelve Life Stage Folios for retirement investing on the folioinvesting.com website - portfolios based on best practices in retirement investment asset allocations. Folio Investing is an online brokerage that features integrated investment portfolios ("Folios") of stocks, ETFs and or mutual funds. The 7Twelve portfolio is a multi-asset, balanced portfolio for retirement investing. There are four different versions of the Folios, based the investors age: Life Stage 20-50 for people between the ages of 20 and 50 - the most aggressive version, Life Stage 50-60 for people approaching retirement, Life Stage 60-70 for investors in their sixties - increasingly conservative, Life Stage 70 Plus for investors in retirement - the most conservative.
These new Folios combine the asset allocations of the 7Twelve Life Stage Portfolios with Folio Investing's low cost portfolio management system. Investors are empowered to take full advantage of the 7Twelve Portfolio and the supporting research from Craig L. Israelsen, Ph.D. The new Folios are available to all investors at folioinvesting.com.
"Today's investors are savvy but have limited access to leading asset allocation approaches, despite the evidence that asset allocation has a greater impact on long term returns than the selection of individual "winning" stocks. With the 7Twelve Life Stage Portfolios, users can leverage the collective intelligence of decades of investment research to manage their own investments," said Craig Israelsen, Ph.D., creator of the 7Twelve Portfolios. "Our proven investment allocation approach yields 'safe and sane' investor portfolios with multiple holdings that rebalance each quarter. By teaming with Folio Investing, investors can now buy and rebalance 7Twelve Life Stage Portfolios in a single transaction for a low fixed cost, instead of making many individual trades, thus making the entire process simple and affordable."
The patented Folio Investing system enables individuals to invest in dollar amounts with no minimum investment, and it allows them to buy and sell fractions of shares. Investors can buy an entire investment portfolio in one transaction and choose any dollar amount to distribute across all of the securities in the portfolio. The 7Twelve Life Stage Portfolios will generally be updated quarterly, and with one-click portfolio updates, Folio Investing makes investing in these portfolios fast and easy.
"We are very pleased that 7Twelve has chosen the Folio Investing online brokerage to to put the 7Twelve portfolio strategies into practice," said Blaine McLaughlin, Vice President. "Folio Investing brings unique capabilities to portfolio-based investing that make it much easier and less expensive to invest in the 7Twelve Life Stage Portfolios."
