Are you an ‘environmentally conscious’ investor? On April 22, the 41st anniversary of Earth Day will be celebrated by millions of people around the world. As a global citizen, you may wish to com- memorate this event by think- ing of ways you can help the environment, such as boost- ing your recy- cling efforts and cutting back on your energy con- sumption. But you can also contribute to a “greener” world through your in v estment activities. Specifically, you can take action in two relat- ed areas: reducing your paperwork and consoli- dating your accounts. Let’s take a look at both of these possibilities. First, if you want to decrease your invest- ment-related paperwork, you need to take advan- tage of all the paperless options that have proba- bly been made available to you by those financial Tyler Smail services companies with which you work. So, for example, you may want to choose to receive online statements, rather than paper ones. And when you make transactions, you may also be able to receive online confirmations. Not only will online doc- uments help save paper, but it can also help protect you from identity theft. The more paper state- ments, confir- mations and similar items lying around, the greater the possibility of their being exposed to prying eyes. (In fact, if you do still receive paper docu- ments, you may want to shred them soon after you’ve reviewed the information.) If you think you may need to produce this investment-related infor- mation, possibly to give to your tax advisor, you can always go back to your financial service COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR All makes and models.

Most companies make this information readily accessible to their clients for months, or even years, after it is initially generated. Now, let’s move to another environmentally conscious aspect of investing: consolidating your accounts. Start by listing all your financial assets, such as your bank accounts, investments, IRAs and employer- sponsored retirement plans, such as a 401(k), if you worked for a pri- vate employer, a 457(b), if you worked for a state or local government, or a 403(b), if you worked for a school or other tax- exempt organization. By consolidating as many of these accounts as possi- ble with one financial services provider, you can significantly reduce the number of statements you receive and the paperwork you generate. But the reduction of paperwork is only one benefit you’ll receive from consolidating accounts.
