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 shares of insurance giant Manulife have jumped 30% in the past year. That’s largely because it sold some of its slower-growth assets and is using the cash to reward investors with more share buybacks and dividend increases. Higher interest rates have also boosted the returns on its fixed-income holdings.
Meantime, Manulife’s outlook continues to improve, particularly as it taps into growing demand for financial services in Asia.
