Investment

Investment refers to the allocation of resources, usually money, in order to generate an income or profit. This can involve purchasing assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or other financial instruments with the expectation that their value will increase over time or that they will provide returns through interest or dividends. Investments are typically made with the goal of achieving capital appreciation, income generation, or both. The process involves assessing risk, potential returns, and market conditions, as investors aim to maximize their financial growth while managing the inherent risks associated with various investment opportunities.
