Investment horizon

Hi,

I have some saving to invest. I am undecided about investing in shares or putting them in foreign fixed deposit. Which can give a better return for an investment of at least one year?

If you are investing for 10 years or more, it is better to invest in a low cost, large, well diversified equity fund.

If you are investing for the short term and is not familiar with the investment market, it is bettter to put your money in a fixed deposit in local currency to earn 2% or to buy government bonds to earn slightly more than 2%.

If you wish to invest in fixed deposit in foreign currency, read this FAQ
