5 Investments you can make

What a week! To recap on the series, I wanted to provide you with a quick 2 minute guide on what these investments are!

Stocks:

• Buy some shares, become a business owner.
• Get paid dividends and let your business make you profits.
• The price can also go up in value, further increasing your wealth. Businesses that can make profit and pay dividends consistently have seen a lot of growth historically.

Bonds:

• Buy some bonds, now someone owes you money (IOU). You're a lender.
• Get paid interest up until the day the borrower repays the loan to you in full.
• Almost guaranteed to pay you back, but sometimes businesses and governments can fail and go bankrupt (lower chance if you do your homework and know what you buy!)

REITs:

• Buy some REITs, become a landlord.
• Get paid rent in the form of dividends and let other people run the property management and purchasing/selling of the properties.
• The price can also go up in value, further increasing your wealth. It's real estate: we all need a place to live, right?

ETFs:

• Buy some ETFs, now you're an investor who's diversified their portfolio.
• Depending on the ETF, you can own stocks, bonds, REITs, commodities, currency, etc.
• The price can go up in value and pay you dividends.

Mutual Funds:

• ​Buy some Mutual Funds, become an investor who's pooled their money into a fund managed by a professional money manager.
• Depending on the Mutual Fund, you're probably diversified in various stocks, bonds, REITs, and more, hand picked by your professional management team.
• The price can go up in value and pay you dividends.

​And there you have it! Hope you check out the posts in full.
