Types of Investment (By Luthando)

The word ‘investments’ is one that most of us are familiar with hearing in financial context. For many of us, it may make us thing of big business and vasts sums of money, but there’s much to the world of investments than multi-million dollar deals.

Although it’s true that, at the top level, investments may run into many millions, it is possible for the average person in the street to invest smaller amounts of money and to invest it wisely. If you’ve ever thought about trying to help your money to grow, then maybe you’ve wondered what opportunities are available.

In truth, investments can cover a wide range of options. One of the most traditional types of investing is in the stock market. This has been viewed by some as being a difficult type of investment to get into, but times are changing. The new range of online stockbrokers available mean that it’s now easy (and fairly inexpensive) to get involved in buying and selling shares. If you’re interested in share dealing yourself, then you’d be wise to remember that there is a risk involved (“shares may go down in value, as well as up”). It’s vital that you investigate the area thoroughly before taking the plunge and you should view shares as a medium to long-term investment. If you invest expecting to make a quick buck, then you’re likely to be disappointed.

An alternative type of investment, which has become particularly popular in the UK, is that of property. Putting money into residential properties and then taking a rental income is seen by many as a win-win situation. The largest downside to this type of investing is that you’ll need a large capital sum to begin with, or else you’ll need to take out a sizeable loan. As with the stock market, property should be looked at as a long-term investment.
