Investment helping you money to work to generate more money
There are three basic ways that you can invest your money: stocks, bonds or cash. You can invest in each of these directly. Or you can invest in them indirectly by buying mutual funds, which pool people’s money together before investing it en masse.
Doug May, a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch in Indianapolis, IN, describes three things to consider before investing that will help you decide which route(s) to take:
1. Why am I investing? What is the end goal? Is it for a new car, or is it for retirement?
2. What is the time frame? How long do I have to come up with the money? This varies largely on your goal. If it is for retirement, most students have 40+ years to work with.
3. How much will I need to reach my goal? It’s hard to figure out the logistics of how much and where to put your money if you don’t know how much you’ll need in the end.
Once you answer these questions, you’ll then want to consider three other determining factors: liquidity, safety and return.
Liquidity
Determining the liquidity of your investments really depends on whether your goals are long or short-term.
If you’re investing for long-term goals, you want something that will grow and short maturity investments won’t really do this for you.
Safety
Safety refers to the risk involved. Investing always involves risk, but the amount varies a lot depending on where you put your money.
Many people afraid of losing money choose safer investments. Putting your money only in safe investments may not get you to your final goal though, especially after factors such as inflation and increased cost of living.
While, some investments may fluctuate more on the short term, over time, things often even out, yielding a decent average return.
So it may still be worth it to consider those investments that may have a moderate amount of short-term risk, but have a fairly consistent long-term growth.
This is where it is important to do your research, in order to secure your money safely.
Return
Return is how much you can expect to get back from your initial investment.
Sometimes it’s a fixed rate, like in money market accounts which have a set interest rate and other times the potential to make or lose a lot of money varies widely, like in stocks.
Keep in mind the only way to get a higher average return is to lower your safety.
