Investing refers to the act of allocating resources, usually money, into a financial venture, asset, or project with the expectation of generating a profit or achieving a return over time. The primary goal of investing is to increase wealth by purchasing assets or securities that have the potential to appreciate in value or yield income, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or mutual funds. Investors typically assess the risk associated with different investment opportunities and may choose to diversify their portfolios to mitigate potential losses. The timeframe for investing can vary significantly, ranging from short-term speculation to long-term strategies aimed at capital growth or income generation.
