Investing small savings
If you only have a limited amount of money, where can you invest it, and receive the highest return?
The first thing to do is to question what you want your money to do for you.
Typically people save money in banks but over the medium to long term their funds would be better served elsewhere.
This is due to the erosive effects of inflation, and at present the very low interest rates we receive on our deposits.
Banks are good for your short-term money and there are various options available in the offshore market depending on individual circumstances.
Savings accounts and fixed-term deposits are useful tools for maximising returns only in the short term.
However, a carefully constructed savings plan could yield more interest on your hard-earned money.
Depending on your attitude to risk, you can use secure & guaranteed funds, tracker funds, bond funds, managed equity funds, property funds and all points in between. One can place the asset in trust and incorporate some protection (life insurance) if required.
Solid financial planning using a range of vehicles is key to growing your money in the long term.
