Brief Guide to Investments:
Invest for Growth
- You want to get the best possible available return on your investment, depending
on the level of risk you want to take.
- Equity funds and commercial property bonds are usually considered to provide the
greatest opportunity for growth, but are also considered the riskiest investments.
- Some investment products let you structure your investments to match the level of
risk you’re prepared to take. They do this by investing in a broad portfolio of
equities, government and corporate bonds, property and cash.
Invest for Income
- Cash deposits and government bonds can both be widely used to generate income payments.
- Cash deposits are very low risk, while government bonds are generally considered
to be low risk investments.
