investment
An investment is an asset or property acquired to generate income or gain appreciation. Appreciation is the increase in the value of an asset over time. It requires the outlay of a resource today, like time, effort, and money, for a greater payoff in the future or for generating a profit.
An investment involves using capital in the present to increase an asset’s value over time.
Investments may include bonds, stocks, real estate, or alternative investments.
Investments can be diversified to reduce risk, though this may reduce the amount of earning potential.
In business contexts, investments are financial; however, consider how some people spend time to make higher incomes in the future (i.e. invest in a college education).

The Canadian economy ranks among the top 10 globally. It’s also considered to be in the top 25% of the most competitive economies in the world; it is highly rated for its ability to train and attract skilled workers.

When investing in dividend-paying companies through an ETF, here are key factors to consider:
Dividend yield: Dividend yield is the dividend paid during the previous 12-month period divided by the current unit price of the ETF. But, this yield can change quickly if the ETF lowers its dividend—which happens more frequently if it invests in cyclical companies.
