So why should the saver, who has been content to build up a nest egg in a deposit account, move into the riskier area of investment in equity or bond markets? Well, the main reason is the chance of a higher return than can be obtained from deposit accounts. If the investor is prepared to be patient, mainly types of investment are not for the short term, over time he or she should be able to expect a higher return.

Whatever the nature of the investments you are considering; the starting points should be the same.
