HOW DO I BALANCE RISKS WITH REWARDS?
Risks and rewards are difficult to assess with any accuracy, and investing in any asset involves a degree of risk. But because there are so many different savings and investment products around, with a little research, you’re bound to find a product, with a risk level you feel you’re comfortable with.
Investments vary from the very secure (deposit accounts) through collective funds (with profit life funds, unit trusts and investment trusts) to individual stocks and shares, property, and specialized investments such as antiques, artworks and other collectibles. Even collective funds can carry a varying degree of risk, depending on what they invest in and how they are managed.
