RESUMO

Many of us expect to live longer, but find it hard to make the first step to find our retirement. One reason many people put off buliding their wealth temple is that they often lack direction or guidance. Simply put, we need a plan to act on. The four financial pillars which support our wealth temple are short-term savings, wealth accumulation, asset protection and income protection. No matter where we are in our life cycle and what our financial goals are at that juncture, we can best achieve them once we determine our personal and family goals and make plans to attain those goals with help from a financial adviser, and the appropriate investment tool or strategy that the financial adviser believes is best suited for us and our family. The younger we are, the more we should focus on buliding an investment strategy to save and accumulate assets for the future. A budget is needed in every life cycle, but more so in early adulthood. During the career development life cycle, or in our twenties and thirties, earnings are low and need to be channelled to make costly expenditures for a first home and to start a new family. At age 40 to 50 years, we enter the mid-life cycle. In this period, our earnings rise significantly, however, we must provide for children's college needs and life after work. Simultaneously, with larger salaries comes hugh spending on a second home or perhaps a vacation home, a boat, and the desire to start and build a business. While asset growth is still a key objective, we must shift gears to focus on asset preservation. In the golden years of the sixties to seventies, we stand at the door of retirement. Our financial cycle now advances to preservation and liquidation. A retiree's dream is to have a life similar to that enjoyed while working, with a vacation or two, and adequately tending to the necessary medical costs when they arise. Today, as biotechnology reforms healthcare, we will live longer and spend more than 20 years in retirement. If we plan to live longer, we will have an active lifestyle, so we need to establish a regular investment programme for the long-term. So, how can an investment programme support a vibrant lifestyle? Investing is a question of risk versus return. Since 1926, equities have been the best performing asset class. There appears no reason why investments in stocks should not continue to outperform real estate, fixed income, annuities, money markets or any other investment strategy. (AU)

RESUMO

Analyses the investment process in the environment and health in Trinidad and Tobago. Gives an overview of the country's economic conditions, then discusses: the accountability of the investment process in the environmental and health sectors; the relevant macroeconomic data on both sectors; the relationship between the overall economic policy and investments in both sectors and the existing investment process and that being proposed. Suggests that agencies responsible for investment in the environment and health undergo a change of attitude. Short-term objectives include technical advice in detailing policy development and quality assurance; on-site training of Ministry personnel in providing some of the new tasks; and the development of a drug formulary consistent with the quality and cost objectives of the reformed health system. The medium term aspect of the strategy would build on present Ministry of Planning and Development (MPD) efforts in upgrading project preparation and project management. In the long term the focus would be on institutional strengthening of the University of the West Indies to better service the needs of the Ministry of Health Authorities, the Environmental Management Agency and the National Health Insurance Agency(AU)

RESUMO

Analyses the investment process in health and the environment in Belize. Suggests that among the tasks needed to be done to assist the planning process within the sectors of health and the environment is the conduct of cost-benefit analyses for both sectors so that the policy makers can assess the value of pursuing or not pursuing specific policy strategies. Further suggests that there is a need for various institutions involved in the health sector to institutionalize a planning process for that sector. The analysis, identifies the macroeconomic aspect and investment policies in health and the environment; identifies and characterizes the principal players involved in the investment process and their interrelationships; looks at the evolution and composition of expenditures in health and the environment as well as the level of compatibility between expenditures in health and the environment; and outlines the investment process cycle. Recommends, the need to quantify specifically the current economic cost to Belize of its existing health policies; the need to conduct cost-benefit analyses within the environmental sector but on a specific subject areas basis; the need to examine alternatives for the imposition of a National Comprehensive Health Plan; and the need to prioritize and rationalize the allocation of resources and the planning process within the health sector.
