Should you be fully invested?

Do you think now is the time to be fully invested? If not, what percentage would you recommend? I mainly look at dividends with some capital appreciation.

Peter and I feel that the domestic share market is heading towards 6000 – a position we have held now for more than a couple of years, based on the view that the “easy money” policy of the Central Banks would lead to higher asset prices.


That said, I have never been fully invested in shares – I invest across all the asset classes – and as we move higher, my inclination will be to take some money off the table.


Unfortunately, I cannot legally even attempt to answer your question because I have no insight into your financial objectives, investment horizon, particular needs or risk appetite. An adviser may be able to help

you in this regard.
