Investment
Investment or investing is a term with several closely-related meanings in
business management,
finance and
economics, related to
saving or deferring
consumption. An
asset is usually purchased, or equivalently a deposit is made in a bank, in hopes of getting a future
return or interest from it. The word originates in the Latin "vestis", meaning garment, and refers to the act of putting things (money or other claims to resources) into others' pockets.
