PRUDENT INVESTMENT

Generally, any use of financial assets that is suitable for the risk and return profile and the time horizon of a given investor. Fiduciaries (such as financial advisors, attorneys, CPAs and retirement plan sponsors) who are entrusted with making prudent investments should also ensure that an investment is one that makes sense within the investor's overall portfolio and whose fees will not detract significantly from the investment's returns. A good fiduciary will monitor the performance of the investments he has chosen for his clients to make sure they are achieving their stated goals.
