BEFORE CHOOSING OR PLANING FOR INVESTMENT

Choice can be very tasking, sometimes frustrating and discouraging. Now that you are here, I will do my best to help you, first to provide enough information that would guide you to understand practically and holistically what investment stands for. Let us first look at investment from an economic and finance point of view: From an economic point of view, investment is the buying of goods & services that are not to be used or expended currently, rather kept aside to be used in the future to generate prosperity.

From a finance point of view, investment is having funds/asset whose value is stated in or convertible into a fixed amount of cash at any time, acquired with the knowledge that the asset/funds will offer earnings as income in the future or will be sold on a later date at a price far higher that the purchase value for a revenue worth the while. This relates more to capital investment.

Alternative investment is one of our major practice in Rhino Capital.

An alternative investment or alternative investment fund (AIF) is carried mostly outside the conventional investment practices e.g. stocks, bonds and treasury bills etc. Alternative Investment is so broad and has more options and diversified spectrums that allow us put money to work in more ways that is generally known.

Since the definition of alternative investments is broad, statistics and study differs throughout the investment categories. This kind of investment practice includes but not limited to the following; business financing, transcontinental trade, crowd funding, private equity, exchange funds, precious metals, real estate, commodities, venture capital, hedge funds, antiques, luxury and classic collections.

Mostly, this category of investment is in a sphere where to a large extent we can control the risk factor. In the same vein, the forgoing is not immune against force majeure. I must state that investment is a risky adventure, just that it is worth taking, since life itself is risky to scale through. In finance, risk refers to the degree of uncertainty in an investment decision. In business history, as investment risks rise, investors expects higher earnings to reward themselves for taking such risks.

Since every investment product has different risks and reward, here are few tips:

1. Evaluate your necessities and goals. It is worth taking enough time to think about what you really want to achieve from investing your money. Be true to yourself, your needs, goals and appetite for risk.

2. Think through how long you can invest, since there are no “overnight make rich” investment in reality, think about how soon you may need to get your money back. Duration influences most investment and will affect the category of investment you may choose from, when investing, understand that it is like planting a seed, it requires time to grow and then come harvest.

3. Make a plan for investment. If you’re considering an investment offer, you must be clear on your needs, goals and have assessed how much risk you can take. seek independent & professional advice, to identify the types of product that could be suitable for you.
