Finance
Property and investment
-Security of capital-you could be fairly certain that would
be able able to get your money back if you sold the investment
-Security of income-you could rely on the income stream
(interest)for making the investemnt.For example:a saving
account gives interest payments,shareholders receive regular 'dividends'
-Liquidity-you could sell the investment rapidly to recover
your capital ie.turn your investmest into cash when
needed.Cash is highly liquid,so are shares.
-The costs of purchasing the investment would be low.For
example,brokers charges fees for buying a selling
shares,there might also be purchase or sales taxes to
bear.
What are the investers seeking?
-Investors are all different
-However making investments is essentially a balancing act
between risk and return
-Most investors are risk averse and will seek 'security'of
income or capital or ideally both.
The trade-off between risk and return
-A low risk investment will probably give a moderate or low
return,although there will probably be the compensation be
security.
A high risk investment should offer the potential of a high
return,but there will be less security.
