Investments

Investment is defined as an asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or will appreciate in the future.

Investment is a Divine Mandate for those who believe. It is a way you fulfill your Divine Mandate of creation; because through investment you create wealth. From the Economic point of view, it is “the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth”.

Investment is a way of making your money work for you.

However, for our purpose here we can outline the following, which are easy to start with and which we can as well help you start up.

1.         Shares & Stock (The Stock Market)

This remains one of the major ways of investment, it is also a way of “saving” or raising capital for business depending on your goal for investment. Depending on your goal for investment you can have a shot-term; medium term or long-term investments’

Buying of Equity Shares (stock) of companies, though classified as a risky investor is very liquid and a sure way of wealth creation, especially if you know what to invest in at any given time and have a realizable investment goal.
