Why equities matter for younger investors
- Time horizon advantage — Decades to retirement mean you can weather market volatility and benefit from compound growth
- Growth potential — Historically, the stock market has offered strong long-term returns that may outpace inflation
- Portfolio evolution — Your investment mix can shift as your life stage changes, gradually incorporating more conservative holdings over time

Whether through individual stocks, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, building an equity position early gives your wealth more time to grow.
