What is Investing?


Investing means you buy a share in a company. When they make money, you get more money added to what you invested. When you invest, you plan to leave your money there for a long time.

How is Investing Different from Saving?

Your money in a savings account can only get bigger. With investing, your money can grow faster, but you might lose money too. If the company you invest in loses money, you lose money too. When you invest, you have a greater chance of losing your money than when you save.

You can decide how much risk you want to take with your money.
