SoFi Blog

At SoFi Invest, our mission is simple: We want to help you make the smartest investment decisions possible so that you can continue on the path to your goals.

That’s why we constantly monitor the market, the economy, and your personal Invest portfolio. Each month we discuss the economy, update our forecasts based on what the market is doing, and every now and then tweak the allocations within our member portfolios. This is one of those times.

Below, we’re sharing the updates we’ve made to all five risk strategies: Conservative, Moderately Conservative, Moderate, Moderately Aggressive, and Aggressive. When it comes to your investments, we always want to be transparent and keep you in the loop about adjustments that we’re making to help your money grow.

Credit cards. They’re just small, rectangular pieces of plastic, yet have the ability to help people prosper—or cause unexpected financial damage. SoFi members Peter and Gloria Hoch of St. Louis, Missouri, know something about that. Together for 36 years, the couple racked up about $23,000 in credit card debt in just over five years.

Money talks. And student debt proves you’ve made a massive investment in your career. While most people want to pay student loans off as quickly as possible, it can actually be smart to take a little longer to do so and start saving for retirement sooner.

No matter how fiscally responsible you are, there’s one factor that can consistently stand in the way of your financial wellbeing. That factor is time – or lack thereof, to be more specific.

With all the dire “retirement crisis” stories and statistics out there, most young professionals today are aware of how important it is to save for their own nest eggs – no matter how far away their own retirement may seem.
