Investment

Investment refers to the allocation of resources, typically money, into an asset or venture with the expectation of generating a return or profit over time. It involves the commitment of capital to a particular project or financial instrument with the anticipation that the value of the asset will increase, or that it will yield income such as dividends, interest, or rental income. Investments can take many forms, including stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, or business ventures. The risk associated with investments varies, as potential returns are often proportional to the level of risk taken. Investors aim to grow their wealth, achieve financial goals, or secure future income through strategic investment choices.
