Investment

Investment is the act of allocating money, capital, or resources into financial instruments, assets, or ventures with the expectation of generating returns, income, or capital appreciation over time. Investments are made in various forms, including stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, businesses, or commodities, depending on the investor’s goals, risk appetite, and time horizon. Investments aim to grow wealth, generate passive income, or achieve specific financial objectives while balancing potential risks and rewards. Example: An individual buys shares of a company for ₹50,000 expecting dividend income and capital gains over the next few years.
