Investing – what you need to know 

Investing puts your money to work 

Investing is a way of putting your money to work for you. The most common types of investment involve giving your money to companies who will use your money to fund their business and in return you could benefit as they grow and expand. You can invest in companies by taking a ‘share’ of ownership or lending them money through a bond. 
 
You can also invest in countries through government bonds and in material things likes gold, oil, and property. 

Investing could protect your spending power

Investing could be a helpful way to protect the spending power of your money. Because savings rates at the bank are generally lower than the rate of inflation, over time your money will lose its spending power as prices rise.  
 
This isn’t a big problem over the short term, but in the long term it can mean your money loses its value. Investors call this ‘inflation risk’. Investing has the potential to help your money grow more quickly than rising prices, maintaining or even increasing your spending power. 

Investment returns are not guaranteed  

Investing is not like putting money in a bank. The value of investments, and the income from them, can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.  
 
How well your investments do depends on many factors, including how well the companies you invest in manage their business, how well a country manages its economy, or supply and demand for the material things you invest in. 

If you need money soon then investing might not be for you 

Before investing your money, you should consider when you might want to spend it. If you think you might need it soon – to cover an upcoming bill, for example, or to buy something you’ve been planning for a while – then keeping your money in the bank could be a better option.
