Apart from investing in property, people also invest their money not only in durable assets such as a car, but also in financial products. These tend to be bonds (bond funds), equities (equity funds) or other investment products.
The following applies to all of them:
Return, risk and accessibility should be evenly balanced and meet the desires of the investor.
Like all investments, financial investments tend to be of a long-term nature. When you invest in equities, you should allow for an investment horizon of at least 5 to 10 years. When it comes to investment in bonds (bond funds), an investment period of at least 5 years is advisable.
The longer the investment period, the greater the potential benefits in the selected investment class.
