Saving money is important, but it’s only part of the story. Investing is an effective way to grow your savings and potentially build wealth.

Since interest rates are still at historic lows, money held in a savings acciunt may fail to keep pace with inflation. Smart investing, on the other hand, may allow your money to outpace inflation and increase in value.

When it comes to investing, there are several options that you can choose from, including stocks and unit trusts. Before deciding which investment vehicles are appropriate for you, it’ll help if you know what they are, how they work, and why they may be a good fit for your needs.

You can learn more about the different investment options via Asia Securities’ financial literacy program, DhanaMaga.


Investing in the Stock Market

For newcomers to investing, trading on the stock market can seem a bit daunting. But the stock market has the potential to offer a real return on your investment, rarely seen with cash savings. One must keep in mind that, unlike cash investments, there is a risk involved as the value of shares can fall and rise in value.
