Investment

An investment is money you put to work expecting it to grow over time — stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate. Investments carry risk — values can go down as well as up — but they offer the potential for greater growth over time than a savings account.

In short

An investment is money you put to work for potential growth — stocks, bonds, real estate, and more. Growth potential is higher than savings accounts, but so is the risk of loss.
