Investing – What You Need to Know

The investment process is a great way to reach your financial goals and also grow your wealth. It can also be done with the assistance of expert advisers, who help you to keep in mind the need for principal protection and some growth potential with your financial situation and your ability to accept risk.

Investment funds pool your savings as well as the savings of other investors. The fund manager will purchase, hold and sell investments on your behalf. Most funds comprise different assets, which reduces investment risk. However, some are more specific than others, for example funds that focus on commodities or property. There are also multiasset funds that may hold a mixture of various asset types, including shares and bonds.

Certain funds are geared towards certain regions or sectors like emerging markets or green investments. Many funds have investment goals, such as cutting down on unsystematic risks, or aiming for a certain level of growth. Others have a general goal for investing that include low cost investing.

Your investment period and your approach to risk will determine the type of unit trusts, OEICs, and investment trusts you select. For example, younger investors tend to be more comfortable with more risk and are more likely to select funds with more equity-based investments. For those who are nearing retirement or have obligations to their families may choose to take an easier risk and select a portfolio with a higher percentage of bonds.
