Investment Horizon9 Mar 2019 05:44
The investment horizon is a key element of portfolio investing because it implies how long investors are willing to hold their portfolio based on the profit they aim to realize to compensate for the risk they have undertaken for investing in certain securities.
Time horizon is the length of time over which an investment is made or held before it is liquidated. Time horizons can range from seconds in the case of a day trader, all the way up to decades for a buy-and-hold investor or an individual who is investing in a retirement plan.
