STI Releases Best Investment Options for 2010
June 29th, 20106-25-10 – STI, known for their free financial information, has just released their latest report on the top ways to grow your money with the use of short term investments.
“Many people are in search of short term investment strategies to help grow their money and shield it against inflation. There are several options to choose from when it comes to this type of investment,” says Mary Thomson, owner of STI. “Some formulas are lower risk than others. Largely the goal with any type of investment whether it is the long or short term is to protect the capital and receive the largest gains with the least amount of risks.”
Covered in this report are the ever popular short term bonds and treasury notes.
“There are some investment vehicles that are much safer than others when it comes to the short term,” says Mary. “A lot of short term investment strategies revolve around bonds or other treasury notes. Short term bonds combined with other investment vehicles will give you opportunities to collect higher yields within a low risk environment.”
“Short term investments in government debt is a favored short term investment strategy because the risk is so low,” says Mary. “In almost every instance of this kind of investment the returns will be decent and the risk is very close to zero. Now, with this strategy, it is important to understand that the yields are not going to be through the roof but they will be decent and your principal will be well protected.”
This report also covers other short term investment strategies include diversifying in equities. Of course this will come with much greater risks. The capital investment will be at risk with any stocks, indexes or other equity vehicles. Of course, with greater risks there will come higher yields. Some folks are much more ready to lose their principal if it means they may be on the winning side of things and gain higher yields.
“We have created this report to help investors grow their money and help preserve it from inflation,” says Mary. “Another option that we discuss are the benefits of the fixed rate bond.
