There are many types of investment. Broadly speaking, they are categorized into four groups: short-term deposits, bonds, property, shares. 1. Short-term deposits A) Bank savings accounts A bank savings account is the simplest form of cash investment. Returns are lower compared with other investments, but returns are guaranteed by the bank. A part of the whole amount of money can be withdrawn whenever you need (total liquidity). This makes these investments ideal for short-term savings goals, or as a place to keep your emergency fund. B) Bank fixed term deposits You give the bank a sum of money for a specified period. In return, you get a higher interest rate than you can receive from a savings account. You can withdraw your money, but you will get a lower interest. 2. Bonds Bonds are issued by the government or a business. You give them a sum of money for a set period, and they promise to pay a certain interest rate and pay you off at maturity. Although bonds lock your money away for a set term, they can be sometimes traded. 3. Property Investments made in property can be very profitable, provided it is well managed. You can make direct and indirect property investments. A) Direct property investment If you want to make a direct property investment, you can handle the daily management of your property on your own, or use a property management business to do it for you. B) Indirect property investment In case of an indirect property investment, you can invest in a private superannuation investment scheme or managed investment fund that invests a part of your amount of money in property. This form of indirect property investment makes it simpler for an investor to receive the benefits from different types of investment. 4. Shares If you invest in stocks of a public company listed in a stock exchange, you receive the right to share the future income and value of that company. The return comes either in the form of dividends or capital gains. Surely, stocks can also drop in value. Before making an investment, consult your financial consultant. |
