There are different types of investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, mutual
funds, and real estate, each carrying different levels of risks and rewards.

Investors can independently invest without the help of an investment


professional or enlist the services of a licensed and registered investment
advisor. Technology has also afforded investors the option of receiving
automated investment solutions by way of roboadvisors.

The amount of consideration, or money, needed to invest depends largely on


the type of investment and the investor's financial position, needs, and goals.
However, many vehicles have lowered their minimum investment
requirements, allowing more people to participate.

Despite how you choose to invest or what you choose to invest in, research your
target, as well as your investment manager or platform. Possibly one of the best
nuggets of wisdom is from veteran and accomplished investor Warren Buffet,
"Never invest in a business you cannot understand." [3]
