Course Description
Investing is an act of spending money on high-risk products that yield results over a period of time. The investment is usually for a long term goal such as buying a house in a retirement village. The difference with savings is that saving is an act of putting money away in a safe place or through a product with the intention of using it in the short to medium term and is usually at a lower interest and risk.

Types of investments

These investment accounts offer higher interest rates than a normal savings account. The accounts have a fixed withdrawal date.
• Bonds
Bonds are a type of investing which involves an investment with the Government of South Africa which earns fixed or inflation-linked interest for the term of the investment such as RSA Retail savings bond.
• Shares
Shares are considered a growth investment as they can help grow the value of your original investment over the medium to long term. These are high risk fixed or inflation-related interest on your term of investments.
• Property
