What are Investments?

Investing is an essential part of any wealth creation strategy. Investments form part of a long-term financial plan to secure your financial future and a means for achieving your life dreams. An investment is the purchasing of an asset for profit, either in the expectation of capital appreciation or to provide an income, or both. Similarly, when you invest on the stock exchange you are buying partial ownership in a company. Every shareholder that invests in a company is entitled to a percentage of that company's annual profits called a dividend. Share prices continually fluctuate based on the projected value of the company in the eyes of investors. The long-term goal of owning shares will be the increase of your investments over the years.

Essentially, investing is a different way of thinking about money, using available revenue streams to invest or create new revenue streams. Contrary to popular belief investing is not about having excessive amounts of cash to spare. Everyone can invest by setting aside a small amount of money each month to take advantage of compound interest. Over a lifetime you can ensure your financial freedom and financial independence if you invest when you are young. A solid investment solution starts with financial planning, knowledge, analysis and commitment to your dreams. Investing is a great alternative to saving because it permits for a higher return. However, there is a parallel between risk and return, higher risk - higher return.
