Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's twenty-five with dreams so bright
Wedding bells and house in sight
Needs a plan to guide her way
Investment Policy Statement today
Goals and limits clearly drawn
Financial roadmap to lean upon

[Chorus]
Life goals, family needs, money in between
Risk and time and liquidity
Return objectives, constraints you see
Tax and legal, unique to me
IPS for you and me
Individual investor's key

[Verse 2]
John's got kids and college plans
Thirty years of working hands
Current income, future wealth
Taking care of family's health
Conservative growth he'll choose
Can't afford big money blues

[Chorus]
Life goals, family needs, money in between
Risk and time and liquidity
Return objectives, constraints you see
Tax and legal, unique to me
IPS for you and me
Individual investor's key

[Bridge]
Young and single, take more risk
Retired folks need income fixed
Time horizon shapes the plan
Liquidity for what you can
Tax efficiency matters most
Legal limits, don't you boast

[Verse 3]
Write it down and make it clear
What you want year after year
Review and update as life moves on
Marriage, kids, when parents gone
Personal situation's change
Keep your portfolio in range

[Chorus]
Life goals, family needs, money in between
Risk and time and liquidity
Return objectives, constraints you see
Tax and legal, unique to me
IPS for you and me
Individual investor's key

[Outro]
Document your investing way
IPS will guide your day
Personal plan for wealth to grow
Investment wisdom you should know
