Investing involves putting your money into an investment vehicle that holds the potential to give you interest and/or growth. Investments are as diverse as GICs, mutual funds,* or high-interest savings accounts.

Investing is great for medium to long-term financial goals or when you want your money to work for you.

Many people invest in the stock market, where you can buy partial ownership of a company and get benefits like profits given out in dividends, or an increase in value of the company through an increase in its stock price.
