How to invest money profitably: opening an account with a reliable bank

The first thing that comes to mind for most people who think about how to increase money is to put it at interest in the bank.

However, in fact, although this is a safe investment of funds, unless, of course, you have chosen a reliable bank for a deposit, it is not very profitable. After all, bank interest is very low. In many cases, bank interest is below the real rate of inflation. But, despite this, professionals in investing personal funds recommend putting about a fifth of personal savings at interest in a reliable bank.

✓ In a number of banks, you can open accounts in precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum. The owner of such an account will benefit greatly from the rise in prices for precious metals, however, a high income is not guaranteed, since the value of precious metals can both rise and fall.

✓ Some experts advise opening a bank account in the currency in which you pay. Another popular option was the division of deposits into currencies: part in rubles, the rest in dollars. So you can protect yourself from a fall in the exchange rate of a particular currency and earn on its growth.

As for the profitability of bank deposits in 2020, it, according to experts, will decline.

If there are no economic and geopolitical shocks, by the end of the year we can expect a reduction in deposit rates by another 0.3-0.5 percentage points, admits Ivan Uklein, Bank Ratings Director, Expert RA.

But if not contributions, then what? The low yield on deposits in 2020 stimulates the transition of depositors to the stock market. Experts believe that last year's boom in individual investment accounts (IIAs, which increased by 2.76 times in 2019 - 1.65 million) is likely to continue this year.

A combination of IIS + OFZ can be profitable today ...

IIS (individual investment account) is a kind of brokerage account, it is often chosen by former investors, since the state has provided additional income in the form of a tax deduction (up to 52 thousand rubles a year) on such accounts.

But you need not take money from the IIS for three years from the moment it was opened, otherwise the deduction will have to be returned. The maximum amount from which you can receive a deduction is 400 thousand rubles.

One of the most risk-free options for buying through IIS is OFZ (government bonds). The combination of IIS + OFZ can give a yield 2-2.5 times higher than deposits with a comparable level of reliability, says BCS Premier investment strategist Alexander Bakhtin.

... or, alternatively, IIS + corporate bonds

In addition to OFZ, you can buy corporate bonds. The main risk is the bankruptcy of the company that issued the paper. Therefore, it is better for yesterday's investors to make a choice in favor of bonds of large reliable issuers with a stable financial position. The yield on corporate bonds can be 7-11% per annum.

Due to the additional profitability from the state in the form of a tax deduction (it brings up to 52 thousand rubles every year), income from a bundle of highly reliable bonds (primarily OFZ and bonds of large companies) and IIA can be two to three times higher than the return on deposits, he believes Head of Methodology Department at BCS Premier Aisha Kubezova.

What else to buy through IIS? Structural Products!

A ready-made portfolio of securities and currencies, which can also be bought through IIS. There are offers on the market with full capital protection. This means that under no circumstances will the investor go negative on the stock market. Profitability can reach 10-15% per annum.

Bond mutual funds

The main advantage of bond mutual funds (mutual investment funds) for former investors is that the investor immediately buys a diversified bond portfolio. The investor does not need to manage the portfolio, the entry threshold is from several thousand rubles. Investments can give a yield of 3-5% higher than the rates on deposits. The main disadvantage is the commissions to managers and the lack of insurance guarantees.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

ETF is a mutual fund-like option. An investment fund collects and invests investors' money in several instruments selected according to a certain principle - sectors of industry, countries or, for example, precious metals. ETFs trade like regular stocks: you can buy and sell through a broker at any time. They are traded on the Moscow Exchange. Their yield is higher than mutual funds, but commissions may be higher. True, there are no insurance guarantees.

Opinion

“The stock market in Russia is underdeveloped in terms of investment instruments, it is quite risky and requires at least a minimal understanding of the principles of its operation, so massive investment in stocks and bonds remains a long-term prospect,” he believes. senior managing director of the NKR rating agency Alexander Proklov. There is still no obvious and strong alternative to deposits in terms of both reliability and profitability, the analyst emphasizes.

Investments in apartments and other non-commercial real estate

A traditional type of investment in our country, which should not be forgotten either. Ask passers-by on the street where it is better to invest money so as not to lose it? Most respondents will answer that it is best to invest in houses and apartments.

Many spears have been broken about the benefits of investing money in real estate, but this option is chosen today by quite a few residents of our country who invest money, first of all, so as not to lose it, and not with the expectation of high profits.

The object of investment in this case are apartments, rooms, garages. There are several ways to make money by investing in real estate.

You can invest in an apartment at the initial stage of building a house, when the price is not too high, and then sell the house when the house is built and the cost of square meters increases. But, when planning to invest in building a house, it is important not to fall into the housing pyramid. Heard about the defrauded real estate investors? You can article them!

Another way to quite profitable investment in real estate can be buying an apartment in an already built house and renting it out. The income will be the difference between the rent and the amount of taxes and utility bills. In addition, the apartment will grow in price from year to year, which will also generate income. True, it will be possible to get it only with the sale of the apartment.

Thus, we have considered 7 profitable ways where it is profitable to invest money to make it work.

Hello, dear readers of SlonoDrom.ru magazine! Almost every one of us someday thinks about where to invest money so that it works and brings a monthly income.🙂

There are a lot of investment options! Not all of them are effective, and what to hide, there are often simply fraudulent organizations whose only goal is to get money and hide with them forever. I know this firsthand!😀

In this publication, I will try to tell you in detail about the most relevant and proven areas for investing money in 2020! And of course, in practice we will try to objectively figure out where it is more profitable and best to invest our money.

You will also learn about where you should not invest your money so as not to lose it!

And most importantly, I will share with you my life experience , concrete examples and useful tips , which will allow you to invest money correctly and receive high passive income!👍

Regardless of what amounts of money you are going to invest: small or large - this article will be most useful for you!

In addition, you will learn:

  • What are the investment options, what is their yield and which one to choose?
  • Where can you profitably invest money on the Internet?
  • How to invest money in order not to burn out?
  • And also about where it is better not to invest your money!

Get comfortable and we'll get started! The article turned out to be a bit long, because I tried not to miss anything important. I hope I succeeded!😉

1. What is important to know about investments?

First, what you need to know before investing your money anywhere is that you only need to invest your free cash ! In no case do not invest the money that you badly need and, moreover, do not get into debts, loans and credits.

Nobody gives an absolute guarantee that you will multiply the invested money! There is always a risk of losing money, even if it is an investment with a high guarantee (such as government bonds or bank deposits).

This must always be remembered, because investments can both bring profit and losses!

Secondly, before investing your money somewhere, you need to actually evaluate what exist risks and what profitability can be obtained from this or that investment.

Usually the risk is proportional to the return, i.e. The higher the return, the higher the risk and vice versa. But this rule does not always work.

But in any case, who does not take risks, he does not earn. It is always necessary to take meaningful risks!😉

In order for you to decide for yourself whether or not it is worth investing in one or another investment option, we will analyze each of them based on the following most key parameters:

  • profitability,
  • risk,
  • payback period,
  • minimum investment amount.

And also consider all the pros and cons of each investment option.

Thirdly to reduce risks, it would be logical diversify your investments, i.e. distribute the entire investment amount into parts depending on the risk and invest in different assets.

For example, you can distribute like this:

  1. conservative portfolio (bonds, real estate, precious metals…) — 50% of all funds;
  2. moderate portfolio (mutual funds, shares, business projects...) - 30% of all funds;
  3. aggressive portfolio (currency market, cryptocurrencies…) — 20% of all funds.

❗️Important:
There is no need to invest all your money only in instruments with a very high yield, since in this case the risk of losing your money will also be very high!

And many people, on the contrary, strive to receive the maximum income, but at the same time they completely forget about the risk. And as a result, because of greed, they are left with nothing.

Investing is first and foremost risk management! First of all, you need to take care not to lose money. Profit is the second thing.

And if you still have little or no experience in investing yet, then start investing with minimal amounts and avoid high-risk assets.

Read this article to the end, because at the end of the article you will learn about other important investment rules!👇

2. Where is it better to invest money in 2020 - TOP 15 profitable investment options

So, let's finally look at the options and decide where you can profitably invest money so that they generate income!

I will immediately share with you, using my personal example, one rather profitable investment that allows you to receive much more than ordinary bank interest. 😉

Pamm-account "Arslanov Fund" and its profitability

Another PAMM account that I invested in is ““, the largest account in Alpari, it manages more than 155 million rubles!

Although it does not show the same profitability (accordingly, it is more conservative, with lower risks) as the previous one, nevertheless, for 5 years it brings investors "clean" every year near 60-80% . Agree very well! 😀

Another plus of PAMM accounts is that the minimum investment amount is practically unlimited here, you can start with at least 3,000 rubles.

For the time being, I am only looking at other PAMM accounts, so far, in my opinion, these two accounts are currently the most reliable for long-term investment. If something changes, I will immediately update the information in the article.

However, although in this way you can earn quite significant amounts, nevertheless, you should not forget about the risks. Still, invest in PAMM accounts no more than 25-30% of the total amount of your investments (at the same time, also distribute the risks among the accounts, do not invest everything in just one account, choose at least 2 accounts).

More details about this type of investment will be described later in the article, so be sure to read to the end.

And now we will consider separately each of the options where you can invest money.

Option #1: Bank deposits/savings accounts

DESCRIPTION: The easiest and most affordable investment option for everyone is ordinary bank deposits (deposits). In Russia, the annual interest rate on them is on average from 4% to 8%.

Deposit rates have been falling steadily in recent years and will likely continue to fall in the future.

How to make money on the growth of stocks - an example of Google

So for 3 years, Google shares have grown by more than 100%!

For these purposes, the so-called "individual investment accounts" (IIA) are suitable, which, for example, can simply be opened in the same (using this link, you can invest 1 month without commission). By the way, they have a very convenient application for investments and a fairly low commission, I use it myself.😀

☝️ In addition, if you invest money for at least 3 years, you can get a personal income tax deduction (13%), i.e. in fact, you will not need to pay income taxes! Such preferential conditions were developed by the state to support and develop investment in the country.

But of course, there are many nuances that must be considered when investing in stocks. Risks are always and everywhere - you should not forget about them!

The biggest risk for stocks (for those who bet on their growth) is financial crisis ! The rest of the time, stocks generally grow steadily and show good profitability.

In addition, you need to understand that the price of shares depends very much on the actions of speculators, rather than on the real financial position of the company in the market.

Also, as an option, you can invest money in a group of shares, i.e. so-called indices (they show the economic situation in the country), for example:

  • RTS (50 largest companies in Russia),
  • S&P500 (500 largest US companies),
  • NASDAQ (US 100 high-tech companies).

If you do not want to personally invest, then there is an option to entrust the money to professional managers. I already mentioned how I invested in Alpari managers at the beginning of the article! I will tell you more about this direction a little later in this article!

You can easily invest in stocks through.

CONCLUSION: With proper management, shares can bring good returns, many times higher than the interest rate on bank deposits. But at the same time they are more risky assets.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
15-100% per annum (share price change + dividends) depends on strategy 1-7 years old from 5-10 thousand rubles
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - medium/high) (⭐️⭐️ - medium/high) (⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) With minimal/moderate risks, relatively high returns can be obtained. (+ ) High liquidity - at any time you can quickly sell shares and get money in your hands. Low entry threshold. (- ) Knowledge is required. Uncontrolled risk and "flirting" with the market can lead to significant losses. (- ) In the event of a crisis, stocks can seriously and quickly fall in price.

Option #4: PAMM Accounts, PAMM Portfolios, Trust Management and Structured Products

DESCRIPTION: But this method is usually suitable for those who do not have experience and time to understand all the nuances of trading in financial markets (stock markets, Forex, oil, gold ...).

That is, in this case, you trust your money to traders - those who are professionally engaged in trading in financial markets.

All that is needed is to distribute the initial investment amount into parts (preferably at least 3-5) and invest in various managers.

Moriarti PAMM account, its profitability for 5 years was 135464% (click to enlarge)

💡 More than $2.5 million , its profitability for 5 years amounted to over 135 thousand percent.

However, it should be taken into account that despite the fact that accounts/portfolios have shown good returns in the past, there is always a possibility that they will turn out to be unprofitable in the future.

Therefore, I repeat, do not invest all your money in one trader! Distribute funds at least among 2-3 reliable managers that trade profitably for a long time. If the accounts are relatively new (less than 6 months old), then completely divide the initial investment among 5-10 traders.

Constantly monitor the situation and get rid of accounts/portfolios that have been making losses for a long period. This is the whole secret of investing!

For more information about what Pamm accounts are and how they work, you can watch a free training webinar from professionals in their field:

You can go to the Alpari website and get acquainted with Pamm accounts.

With a larger initial capital, you can work with large stock brokers (for example, Finam and BCS), which also provide various trust management strategies.

For example, on Finam in trust management, you can give from 300 thousand rubles. Their website features dozens of diverse strategies: conservative, moderate, and aggressive.

Of course, both brokers and managers also cannot guarantee 100% that you will receive income.

Here I want to tell you a few words about the so-called "structural products", because they are also directly related to trust management. Income here, as a rule, is not the same as Pamm accounts can give, but nevertheless, structured products can bring significantly more than bank interest and bonds.

They are also intended for beginners who want to increase their money. Structured products can bring returns up to 100-200% per annum with minimal risks (the risk is strictly limited, there is capital protection - usually you risk only 10% of your investments).

The essence of structured products is that you also invest money in stock markets (more precisely, in specific stocks, futures ...), which, as experts expect, will rise or fall in the future.

It is usually possible to invest in such products from 3000 dollars(some brokers have a higher minimum threshold) and for a period from 3 months.

I will give an example of trust management - the leader in terms of trading volumes on the Moscow Exchange with maximum AAA reliability.

BCS offers investments in Gazprom shares with a guaranteed return 10% per annum(even if their price falls) and 100% capital protection. In the event that the share price rises, then you can even get 14% per annum .

So there are only 2 options: you will get either 10% or 14%. Consider that there are no risks, except for the actual bankruptcy of the company. But it is extremely unlikely that the number 1 company in the entire brokerage market in Russia will go bankrupt, it is similar to the fact that Sberbank will declare bankruptcy. Therefore, in this regard, there are practically no risks.

Investments are calculated for a period of 3 months, which is also quite convenient. As a result, this option is an excellent alternative to a deposit, the rates for which are now significantly lower. The only downside is that the minimum investment amount is 300 thousand rubles.

CONCLUSION: Trust management combines convenience, moderate risks and medium/high returns. Particularly suitable for beginners.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 15% to 200% per annum and more depends on the type of strategy: conservative, moderate, aggressive 1-8 years old from 500 rubles
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high/medium) (⭐️⭐️ - medium/high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) By allocating funds to the most efficient managers/strategies, you can get a good average return. Suitable for beginners. (+ ) The minimum amount for investment (especially in PAMM accounts) is quite low. You don't need to trade yourself. (- ) Relatively high risks compared to bonds and bank deposits. (- ) It is difficult to predict profitability, as there may be unprofitable periods. Managers need to be monitored periodically.

Option #5: Bonds

DESCRIPTION: Where do you think big banks invest their money? Mainly in bonds! Yes, they give a small income, but with a high guarantee and reliability. Especially if you take government bonds.

Along with bank deposits, bonds are considered one of the easiest investment tools. But unlike bank deposits, the rate on bonds is much higher.

For those who do not know, a bond, if in a simple way, is an IOU. Both large companies and states can act only as borrowers.

☝️ By the way, Sberbank and other banks sell national government bonds.If you invest for 3 years, then you can get an average return on them of 8.5% per annumX .

I agree, not very much, but the rate is certainly better than most currently available bank deposits. Moreover, in the future, interest rates on deposits may decrease.

You can also consider bonds of large reliable companies - the rates on them will be higher! For example, on Sberbank bonds, the average yield is approximately 9,2%-12,2% per annum (depending on the term).

At the same time, large funds can also be invested in bonds, since the security of funds here will be higher than, for example, in bank deposits, where only 1.4 million rubles are insured.

I also note that there are bonds, the yield on which can be dozens and hundreds of percent . But such bonds have a low credit rating (for which they are called "junk bonds"). Although they are able to bring a fairly high income, they are a very risky type of investment.

Bonds, as well as shares, can be bought without the need to pay income tax (if you purchase them for a period of more than 3 years).

CONCLUSION: Bonds are suitable for those who want to earn an average yield with a relatively high guarantee.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 7% to 15% per annum (for risky ones from 30% to 100% and more) depends on bonds (very low for government bonds) 7-12 years old from 10 thousand rubles
(⭐️⭐️ - medium/low) (⭐️ - low) (⭐️⭐️ - medium/low) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) Optimal profitability combined with low risks. You can sell bonds at any time without losing income. (+ (- ) Relatively low returns compared to stocks and some other assets. (- ) There is a risk of bankruptcy of the issuer (especially for low-rated bonds). The lower the credit rating, the less confidence in him.

Option #6: Forex


DESCRIPTION: Forex is essentially a foreign exchange market where you can buy/sell this or that currency.

This can be done both through banks and online with the help of specialized brokers (where, by the way, the commission is 10 times less).

Example!
For example, you purchased $10,000 at the exchange rate of 57 rubles/dollar — as a result, you invested 570,000 rubles in dollars. After a while, the rate reached 60 rubles for 1 dollar, and you sold dollars.

As a result, after the exchange, you received 600,000 rubles, and the income, respectively, amounted to 30 000 rubles(of which the broker's commission is approximately 600-800 rubles).

On Forex, you can trade both yourself and give money to professional traders (this will be discussed in detail in the next section of the article).

When trading currencies on your own, it is very important to have trading experience and h knowledge of the foreign exchange market . Climbing into the foreign exchange market just like that, in the hope of easy money, is not worth it (and when I did exactly that 🙂), as this usually leads to serious losses.

It is important to note that when trading personally, you need to follow a proven trading strategy, otherwise trading is likely to turn into a casino and lead to a sad result known in advance.

But on the other hand, if you observe risk (money management), manage emotions and trade exclusively according to the strategy, then you can really make good money on Forex. But this needs to be learned!

Although you can start on Forex with minimal amounts - from $ 1, you still need more or less serious investments (preferably from 100 thousand rubles), because even if you manage to increase the initial deposit by 10% per month (which is very good), the profit will not be so big.

As for me, one of the most effective trading strategies on daily bars is Price Action. There are many articles written about it on the Internet - if you are interested, read it!

Among reliable brokers, you can choose, for example, Alpari or RoboForex.

CONCLUSION: The Forex market is more unpredictable than the stock market, and therefore more risky. Nevertheless, with skillful investment, you can earn a high income. For those who are not ready to study seriously, this option is not suitable - it is better to consider PAMM investing. This will be discussed below!👇

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 15% to 100% per annum and more strategy dependent (initially high risk) 1-7 years old from 100 rubles
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high/medium) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high/medium) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) If you have an effective strategy, you can get high profitability. (+ ) Low entry threshold and accessibility. (- ) High risks, especially for beginners. You can lose significant money in a short time if you do not manage the risk. 99% of newbies lose their money. (- ) Training is required: special knowledge and experience, as well as the ability to manage emotions. There is no guarantee that in a given period you will make a profit.

Option number 7: Own / partner business


DESCRIPTION:
And this, in my opinion, is one of the most profitable ways to invest, which can bring you more than one hundred or even a thousand percent of income!

Of course, in most cases, business requires personal presence. But on the other hand, a business can automate the process or simply invest in someone else's business at the stage of development.

Another option is to buy a ready-made business or open a franchise business (in this case, the risks will be much lower).

At the same time, even if you have a small initial capital, you can still open your own business. Many people opened a profitable business with little or no investment, so money is not the most important thing here, the main thing is desire and aspiration!😀

I myself started a successful business several times from scratch! By the way, if you turn to statistics, then among millionaires about 70-80% - These are entrepreneurs who started a business from scratch!

✅Please note:
You can turn your hobby into a business and never work again in your life, but do what you love! Perhaps this is the most preferred option!

As Confucius said:
« Choose a job you love and you won't have to work a single day in your life!«

And how to find your favorite job / business of life - read.

If you do not yet have a stable source of income, then first of all think about creating a business, even if it is small at first. The main thing in this business is not to be afraid take the first step!

Think about it, maybe you always wanted to open your own auto shop, hairdresser, sporting goods store or handicraft store?

Here are some more helpful tips:

  1. Start small (and with minimal investment) and gradually grow your business. At the initial stage of business development, do not immediately invest a lot of money.
  2. Choose niches with minimal competition - they are easier to start in.
  3. If you have a small initial capital, then it may be worth trying a business in the service sector.

I will also give you a few options from my experience, how you can start a business with minimal investment, I think you will be interested!👇

Examples!
It is easy to start your own business on the Internet. For example, you can provide services or sell goods through ad platforms (the most popular is Avito). I just started with this! 🙂

By the way, now goods from China are very popular, where the margin can reach up to 500-3000%. Including such goods are successfully sold through the Internet (one-pagers).

Another area where large investments are not required and it is not so difficult to start is a wholesale business via the Internet.

While both in the case of wholesale and retail sales, the goods do not have to be in stock - you can work according to the dropshipping scheme. The main thing is to find customers (you can do this for free on bulletin boards).

In short, the essence of dropshipping is that you work with a supplier who directly ships the product to the customer. He sells his goods and has income from this, and you get your margin on the sale.

Read more about how to organize in a separate article!

CONCLUSION: Business is able to bring very high profitability with minimal investment. In addition, business can be turned into a favorite thing that is interesting and wants to do!

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 30% to 1000% per annum and more High risk initially from several months to 1-5 years from 10,000 rubles (you can even start from scratch)
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high/medium) (⭐️⭐️ - medium/high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low/medium)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) One of the highest yields among all investment instruments. (+ ) It is easier for businesses to find partners and/or co-investors. You can start without large investments, the main thing in business is an idea! (- ) High initial risks. 7-8 out of 10 start-up businesses close within 2-3 years. Low liquidity - it is difficult to quickly sell a business. (- ) You need to understand the business and understand how it works, even if you invest in a "foreign" business. You need to constantly learn.

Option #8: Mutual Funds

DESCRIPTION: Mutual investment funds can also be attributed to trust management, which we have already talked about a little.

Mutual investment funds are professionally engaged in investment activities, investing and managing the money of their investors (invest in certain stocks, bonds ...).

Absolutely anyone can become a contributor, for this you need to purchase a share (share) in a mutual investment fund. Depending on whether the mutual fund successfully manages investments, shareholders make a profit or loss.

It should be noted that the activities of mutual funds are regulated at the state level and, as a rule, they are prohibited from investing in high-risk assets. Therefore, they are considered more secure than the same brokers.

Mutual funds usually give a low return (usually from 15 to 30% per year), with little risk. Here is an example of the yield of some mutual funds for 11 months:

Return on mutual funds for 11 months

However, mutual funds do not give guaranteed profits, unlike bonds and deposits - there are also often unprofitable periods.

But in general, if we take a period of 3-5 years, then many mutual funds show positive dynamics and make a profit (provided there is no crisis). Therefore, it makes sense to invest in mutual funds for a period of 1 year.

The minimum investment amount is from 1,000 rubles. You can buy shares online, including through certain banks, such as Sberbank.

If this type of investment is right for you, then it makes sense to choose not one mutual fund, but several in order to distribute possible risks.

And make it a rule before investing anywhere, including in any specific mutual funds, read the reviews of real people on the Internet, and also read what they write about them on the forums. With this simple action, you will protect yourself from unreliable and fraudulent organizations.

CONCLUSION: Mutual funds can be considered as an alternative to brokers who also invest money mainly in the stock market. In the absence of a crisis, they usually also bring good returns.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 12% to 30% per annum moderate 3-10 years from 1,000 rubles
(⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) The average yield exceeds the interest rates on bonds and deposits. (+ ) Low entry threshold, as well as control over the activities of mutual funds by the state. (- ) There is no guarantee that you will receive income. There is an additional "commission" (surcharge) for buying/selling units. (- ) You will have to pay a 13% income tax - many other investments have preferential taxation conditions.

Option #9: Microfinance Institutions (MFIs)


DESCRIPTION:
Another type of investment is investing in MFIs. The return on such investments averages from 12% to 30% per annum.

The minimum amount required to invest in MFIs must be at least 1.5 million rubles (according to the law).

The longer the term of the investment, the higher the interest rate. The minimum term in MFIs, as a rule, is 3 months.

It should be noted that in this case there is no deposit insurance, and in general the risks are much greater than if you invest in bonds or in a bank at interest.

If you still decide to invest in an MFI, then be sure to choose a trusted company that has been operating on the market for more than one year.

⭐️ Good advice!
Look primarily at the "age" of the MFI, and not at the interest rate that you are promised.

After all, it is better to invest in a reliable organization at a slightly lower percentage than in a newly appeared MFI with a high percentage.

Additionally, it will not be superfluous to look at reviews and read articles on well-known information portals (for example, RBC) about a particular MFI.

If you want to know my opinion, then in my opinion, if you have investments from 1.5 million rubles, then it is more profitable and safer to invest in real estate than in MFIs! 😀

And besides, I myself do not take loans / loans (especially consumer loans) and do not advise others!😉

CONCLUSION: MFOs as a whole give 1.5-2 times more profitability than bank deposits. But there are corresponding risks as well. Yes, and the threshold of entry, to put it mildly, is rather big.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 10% to 30% per annum moderate 3-9 years old from 1 million rubles
(⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️ - medium/low) (⭐️ - high)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) High rate relative to bank deposits. (+ ) Passivity of income. Minimal participation on your part. (- ) Very high entry threshold. According to the law, MFIs are allowed to attract from individuals from 1.5 million rubles. (- ) Increased risk, since there is no deposit insurance - in case of bankruptcy, no one will return the money. There is fraud.

Option #10: Precious Metals

DESCRIPTION: Another well-known type of investment is investing in precious metals, in particular gold. At the same time, such investments are highly reliable!

Investing in gold and other precious metals is especially important to invest during a crisis, since it is there that money migrates from the stock market.

Gold coins/gold bars can be purchased both at almost any bank (Sberbank, Gazprombank) and from brokers (for example, Alpari).

Despite the high reliability, investing in gold is more suitable for saving existing funds than for increasing them. In addition, such investments are designed for a longer term of 3 years or more.

Gold prices - chart

❗️ Over the past 5 years, gold in rubles has grown from 1,600 rubles per gram to 2,400 rubles per gram.

The total return for the five years was 50% (on average, gold rose by 10% per year) and this profitability was due to serious depreciation of the ruble.

However, if you look at the dynamics of gold against the dollar, you can see that gold has significantly fallen in price since 2012 and is currently in a sideways trend.

CONCLUSION: It still makes sense to buy precious metals (gold) either in times of crisis or in the long term in order to save.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 3% to 15% per annum (in a crisis, the yield is higher) Minimum 7-20 years old from 1000 rubles
(⭐️ - low) (⭐️ - low) (⭐️ - low) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) High reliability of investments. There is practically no risk of depreciation of gold. Easy to buy/sell at any time. (+ ) Precious metals (especially gold) are a "safe haven". Investments in them are suitable for saving funds during a crisis. (- ) Low profitability during the period of growth and development of economies. Income tax 13% on the sale of gold if the holding period is less than 3 years. (- ) Relatively high commissions of banks/brokers when buying/selling precious metals, incl. gold.

Option #11: Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin)


DESCRIPTION:
Bitcoin has more than doubled in recent years and is apparently not going to stop. Already there are new millionaires who got rich solely on investments in bitcoin.

Of course, the best time to invest was a few years ago when bitcoin was worth about 150-200 dollars.

Some experts say that in the future, bitcoin could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and even possibly reach $1 million.

Others argue that bitcoin is about to crash. But despite this, some states (including Russia) are thinking about creating their own national cryptocurrency, which suggests that the topic of cryptocurrencies will be very popular in the future, which means that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will probably grow in price.

Especially while cryptocurrencies show a steady growing trend.

But you need to understand that any cryptocurrency is another bubble, since there is nothing real behind it, and yet it is a rather risky investment tool.

For example, bitcoin in just a day can rise or fall by 10-25% - It's quite common here. And in a year, you can both increase your investments by 3-10 times, and lose almost everything!

CONCLUSION: On the one hand, cryptocurrencies are too risky an instrument, and on the other hand, in case of growth, they can bring huge returns. Whether it is worth investing in it or not, everyone decides for himself, one thing is clear - definitely you should not invest all your money in them!

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 20% to 1,000% per annum elevated from 3 months to 1-5 years from 100 rubles
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) In the case of the growth of cryptocurrencies, it is possible to multiply the invested funds in a short time. (+ ) As a rule, there is no inflation due to the limited amount of issued cryptocurrency. (- ) Very high volatility of cryptocurrencies, in a matter of days they can both grow in price and seriously collapse. Low predictability. (- ) Cryptocurrencies are not backed by anything, as this is another bubble. The complete absence of guarantees - in case of loss of money, no one will return them.

Option number 12: Internet projects (online business)

DESCRIPTION: The Internet is developing at a tremendous pace, at the same time providing an opportunity for each of us to earn money in this global network.

It is important to note that large investments are not always required to promote a particular project on the Internet. Some of the projects can be started with minimal investment or even from scratch.

At the moment, the following directions are popular:

1. Sites. Information sites are created and filled with unique content.

With minimal investment, it is possible to receive high profitability through advertising. Usually the site starts to bring the first income in 4-6 months.

FROM 1000 visitors per day, depending on the subject, you can earn approximately 200-3000 rubles in a day. The spread is very large, since it depends on the subject of the site what income you will receive.

Making money on websites is suitable even for beginners, since you can write articles yourself, and not order them on copywriting exchanges.

But still, in the beginning it will be necessary to delve into the essence and understand the key details of such a business.

2. Social publics. Surely, almost every one of us is subscribed to some kind of community in social networks (VKontakte, Facebook, classmates ...).

Meanwhile, the owners of such publics also earn mainly from the publication of advertising posts. In public with millions of subscribers, the cost of one advertising post can be worth 2-7 thousand rubles .

Publics with relatively small investments pay off very quickly. Although now the competition in the public is high, but if you choose the right topic for the public, post high-quality and interesting content and develop the public, then you won’t have to wait long for success!

3. CPA affiliate programs / traffic arbitrage. Their essence is that some business owners are willing to pay a certain percentage of the sale of their goods / services.

For example, if a person who clicked on your affiliate link opens a current account in a particular bank, then you can earn 2-3 thousand rubles

If you can effectively attract traffic through advertising, then it is quite possible to get a high return on investment. However, as you probably already understood, here the main investments go exactly to advertising.

But in this case, the main role is played by experience, without it, nowhere!

4. Online services. You can also invest in creating an online service. These include various freelance exchanges, message boards, exchangers…

For example, projects that are engaged in the exchange of electronic money are very popular (in fact, they are called exchangers).

For example, if you need to transfer money from a Yandex wallet to a Qiwi wallet, then the easiest way to do this is through exchangers. By the way, you can also buy bitcoins with the help of exchangers.

Exchangers, in turn, take a small commission for the exchange (usually 1-5% ). Due to the turnover, a fairly decent income is obtained.

5. Apps for iOS/Android. Since relatively recently, applications for Android and iOS have become very popular - this is a large segment of the market where big money is spinning.

Therefore, if you have an interesting idea that will be in wide demand, then it might be worth trying to create your own application.

❗️ For example, applications for the sale of air tickets are quite popular, here you can get quite decent affiliate commissions from airlines.

Even if you don’t know anything about how to create applications, you can create them for quite a bit of money ( 20-30 thousand rubles ) order on freelance exchanges.

Here, as elsewhere, it is the idea that plays the key role - the success or failure of the application depends on it.

6. Hype. HYIPs - in reality, they are a financial pyramid that lives off the funds invested in it.

Such HYIPs offer very high interest rates ( 1-5% per day) on the invested funds, but of course they can only function for a few days or weeks, after which they disappear without a trace.

There are HYIPs that “live” for several months or even several years, but the profitability on them, respectively, is several times / tens of times lower.

In any case, invest in such HYIPs very risky , because the creators of these HYIPs and a small group of investors mainly earn money - who managed to withdraw money with a profit until the moment when the HYIP turned into a scam (stopped paying out money).

And yet, I strongly advise you not to invest in HYIPs, especially if you are not particularly versed in this.

CONCLUSION: Online projects are a great option for those who want to make money on the Internet. With the right approach, Internet projects can give high returns with a minimum investment.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 30% to 500% per annum moderate from 3 months to 2-4 years from 500 rubles
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️ - medium/high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) High yield. The investment can pay off very quickly. (+ ) Some projects can be started with minimal investment or even from scratch, investing only your time and effort. (- ) There is a risk that the project will not shoot and will not pay for itself. (- ) knowledge is required. You need to be well versed in the key nuances of the Internet business.

Option #13: Venture funds/investments


DESCRIPTION:
Venture funds are especially widely developed abroad, in our country they are not yet so popular, but nevertheless they are a fairly profitable investment tool.

The essence of venture funds is that they invest money exclusively in projects that are at the development stage (startup) or even at the idea stage.

A distinctive feature of venture investments is very, very high profitability, they can bring thousands of percent!

But on the other hand, only 1-2 out of 10 projects shoot and bring huge profits. But despite this, they usually more than pay off all investments in "unsuccessful" projects.

☝️ Real example!
Today's largest companies Apple, Google, Intel ... and even the well-known Chinese online store Aliexpress (Alibaba) started with venture capital investments.

Over the past 2 years, Apple shares have risen by about 5000 times! So if you were to invest in the early stages of a business 100 000 rubles, in 2 years your fortune would be already 500 million rubles .

You can invest in projects in startups mainly in several ways:

  • crowdinvesting and crowdlending platforms (suitable for beginners);
  • venture funds;
  • investor clubs.

CONCLUSION: Yet venture capital investment is underdeveloped in Russia. Yes, and often a large start-up capital is required, and among crowdinvesting platforms (where the entry threshold is not high) there are often scammers. Meanwhile, venture investments can bring very high returns!

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 40% to 3000% per annum elevated from several months to 1-3 years from 10,000 - 100,000 rubles (in venture funds - from 500,000 dollars)
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️ - high/medium)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) If successful, you can get the highest possible profitability. (+ ) Large funds are not always required to invest at the start of a project. (- ) Very high risks, most start-up projects turn out to be unprofitable. (- ) Fraud is widely developed - investment sites may turn out to be financial pyramids.

Option number 14: Art objects


DESCRIPTION:
Another unusual way to invest your money is to invest it in art. This is a rather narrow and specialized market, however, it can bring good returns.

It's no secret that certain works of art can cost hundreds and even millions of dollars. And if you really understand art, then you can earn hundreds of percent of profit on investments.

❗️ The only important feature in this case is that such investments often require big investments . And besides, in order to get a good return, you need to invest for a long period ( decades ).

Like investing in precious metals, investing in art is not subject to inflation and will only cost more over time.

And the crisis practically does not affect the value of art objects.

CONCLUSION: This type of investment is suitable for those who understand at least something in art and are ready to invest money in the long term.

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
from 20% to 100% per annum and more minimum usually 1 to 3-5 years from 100 000 rubles and more
(⭐️⭐️ - medium/high) (⭐️ - low) (⭐️⭐️ - medium) (⭐️⭐️ - high/medium)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) You can get a relatively high return with minimal risk. (+ ) High reliability. Over time, art objects only grow in value. (- ) Often, investments in art require a large initial capital and involve long-term investment. (- ) You need to be a specialist, have specific knowledge and experience.

Option #15: Knowledge and personal development


DESCRIPTION:
No matter how incredible it may seem, but always the most profitable investment is always an investment in yourself (in the development of specific skills, abilities, gaining knowledge, experience ...).

It must be understood that the first knowledge/experience, not money allows you to earn and multiply your own.

I think more than once you have heard stories that most people who have won millions in the lottery, after a few months or years, again returned to the life they lived before (or even fell even lower).

In addition, often in order to learn something, no investments are required at all - the main thing is that there is a desire, and everything else will follow!

If you have free funds, then it makes even more sense to invest some of them in your development: attend trainings, webinars and seminars.

One of the most important differences about investing in knowledge is that no one will ever be able to take it away from you. You can lose everything, but not the acquired skills and experience.

For example, an experiment was conducted in the USA: a professional real estate agent was left completely without money several times in different cities. And the result was always the same - in a couple of months he managed to earn tens of thousands of dollars from scratch.

CONCLUSION: Therefore, if you still do not know where to invest your money, then the most win-win option is to invest it in yourself (at least some of it). And do not forget that even an unsuccessful experience is also an extremely valuable experience! 👍

Yield: Risk: Payback: Minimum investment:
endless minimum from several weeks/months from 0 rubles
(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very high) (⭐️ - very low) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - high) (⭐️⭐️⭐️ - low)
➕ Pros and ➖ Cons:
(+ ) The most important and most profitable asset in the world is knowledge, skills and experience. (+ ) No one can take away your knowledge and experience, and you will always be able to turn them into money. (- ) For many, it is difficult at the first stage to motivate yourself to study. (- ) It is not always possible to immediately turn your knowledge into money - this requires time and experience.

3. Golden rules for proper investment - TOP 5 tips

And now I want to introduce you to a few more very important investment rules that will help you manage your money properly!

First What I talked about at the beginning of the article is not to store all your eggs in one basket. This rule applies especially to you if you have a lot of money to invest.

Instead of investing everything in one instrument, distribute the amount equally among several parts. For example, into 3 parts and invest them in real estate, stocks, in a new business.

If you have very little money, then consider starting your own business.

Second- try to invest most of the funds (40-60%) in assets with the least risk, the best choice between profitability and risk, as for me, is real estate.

And remember that risk is what you need to think about first! Moreover, if you do not have experience and knowledge, then poking around yourself and investing all your money in high-risk instruments: Forex, stocks, bitcoins… hoping that you will quickly multiply them is by no means worth it.

Believe me, this is an already tried path, in which a huge number of people have lost fortunes!

It will allow you to survive unfavorable times and find other sources of income.

Fourth- create passive income so that you can receive money even when you are not working.

Fifth- Before investing your earned money in any particular organization, read reviews and comments about it on the forums. Make sure it's a real company and not a scam.

It will also be great if you learn how to give 10% of your profits to charity.

✔️ As Socrates said:
There is only one good - knowledge and only one evil - ignorance.

4. Where to invest money to earn money - specific examples

In this section of the article, I will tell you where, from my own experience, I would invest money, having this or that amount of investment available!

I will not consider very risky investment options in these examples. Consider only conservative and moderate-risk investments.

- Where to invest 100,000 - 200,000 rubles?

100 - 200 thousand rubles is not such a large amount, so I would most likely invest in starting my own business or in the business of my friends. And I would allocate 10-20 thousand for attending trainings and seminars.

As an option, if you do not want to invest in a business, you can consider bonds. In extreme cases, you can open a bank deposit, but it will be of very little use, since the interest will only cover inflation.

If the risk allows, you can try to invest in the structured products of brokers (trust management). Their risk is usually limited to 10-15% of the investment amount, and you can earn more than with bonds.

- Where to invest 300,000 - 500,000 rubles?

Also a relatively small amount by the standards of investment. This amount can already be divided into 2-3 parts and invested, for example, in business , bonds , gold or trust management e.

If there is an option within this amount to purchase real estate during the construction phase, you can invest in it.

- Where to invest a million rubles?

Having 1,000,000 rubles on hand, you can already try to invest in almost any of the tools described in this article.

For 1 million rubles. it is already quite realistic to purchase a rough apartment and an apartment at the stage of excavation.

Or alternatively:

  • You can invest part of the money (100-250 thousand rubles) in shares of promising companies, give them to trust management, PAMM accounts / portfolios, or invest in mutual funds.
  • But 400,000 - 500,000 rubles can be invested in reliable instruments: various bonds (it is also desirable to divide the amount into 3-5 parts), gold, art objects ...
  • I would still invest a small amount of 30,000 - 50,000 in cryptocurrency, in case it seriously rises in price in the next couple of years.
  • For the remaining amount, you can try to open a business (including on the Internet).

5. Where better not to invest in order not to burn out - important tips on how to avoid fraud

At the end of the article, let's talk about no less important: how not to lose your money and how not to fall for scammers.

The world is full of people who invent various schemes to steal money through fraud. Especially in our time, fraud thrives abundantly on the Internet (and not only!).

Therefore, before investing money somewhere, it is worth checking 10 times to see if you end up with a nose.

Both on the Internet and in real life, people often come across "super profitable" projects that promise to make them millionaires in the very near future. The organizers of such projects offer huge interest rates, fast payouts, very favorable conditions, etc. - all if only people would invest their money.

💡Take note!
Super favorable conditions- this is the very first sign that they most likely want to deceive you! Fraudsters love to cash in on other people's greed!

Money does not come from nowhere, if someone receives money, then someone will definitely part with it!

The most common type of fraud is financial pyramids (remember at least Mavrodi and his MMM). Visually, some kind of plausible story can be created, as if the project really functions (provides any services), but in reality the organizers of this project only earn on the investments of gullible people.

Sometimes the “history” of a project is so well created and worked out that it is very difficult for an ordinary person to detect fraud.

HYIPs(which we talked about earlier) are essentially also built on the basis of a financial pyramid and they can also be attributed to a fraudulent scheme (although it is also possible to earn money on them, but experience is required). Also here you can add various casinos and other ways where they promise "easy" money.

Another controversial investment tool is sports betting. It is realistic to make money on them in the long term, but only bet organizers and 5-10% of participants (those who are in the know) do this, and the rest only constantly lose money.

I will also single out another type of widespread fraud on the Internet - this is the sale of various courses, programs…which, according to promises, can bring you incredible income in a matter of hours (days). Having bought them, you will throw away your money to the wind (tested on your own skin 😀).

So, invest in what you are good at! Otherwise, you will be profited by those who are well versed in what you do not understand! This is my unfortunate experience.😞

If you are not yet particularly versed in a particular investment object, then invest time and money (they are not even necessary) first of all into your knowledge ! It will be your best investment!

6. Conclusion

Well, here you have learned about all the most popular and profitable areas for investing money.

Of course, it is impossible to fit all the options and all the nuances of investments into one article, but I tried to make the article as useful and interesting as possible for you!

I hope my experience for some of you turned out to be at least a little valuable and you have already decided where to invest your money! 😀

Once again, I emphasize that in my experience, the most profitable investments are investments own business / business and knowledge !

Real estate, business.

Bank deposits (deposits)

This is the easiest, most elementary and reliable way to invest. You give yours to the bank under certain percentage. Bankers "scroll" this money by investing in other financial instruments. For which you receive a predetermined percentage of profit.

For example, you invested money in a bank for a year at 10% per annum. Bankers immediately give this money to another client in the form of a loan, but already at 20% per annum. As a result, the bank in a year returns your funds to you with accrued interest, and pockets the remaining difference.

The advantage of investing in a bank is that you know exactly how much money you can receive after a certain period of time, while other financial instruments cannot boast of this. You can calculate the profitability of a particular deposit using a deposit calculator, and if you need to calculate the amount of overpayment on a particular loan, then use a loan calculator.

On the topic of bank deposits, read:

Mutual investment funds (mutual investment funds)

This is the second most popular way to invest. In short, mutual funds are a collective financial instrument, when investors' money is invested in one big pot and then professional managers multiply this one big amount of funds by various methods.

Shareholders' funds (as those who have invested their money in mutual funds are called) are usually invested in stocks, bonds, gold, currency, etc. More precisely, they are not just invested, but they are managed. Any fool can just buy shares. The task of professional managers is to find such stocks that have fallen in price at the time of purchase and there is a possibility of their further growth.

In order to determine this probability, technical and fundamental analysis is used, the economic situation is studied both in the world and in a particular region, news is monitored, as well as many other parameters that are too complicated for a simple layman.

This is the essence of mutual funds, to save people ignorant of these issues from all these difficulties. If you have free funds and you do not have the opportunity to trade on the stock exchange from morning to evening, then it is easier to transfer this money to those people who have plunged into the topic of investing with their heads and have a lot of experience behind them. At least at the initial stage.

Further, as your experience in financial matters grows, you can start buying stocks, bonds and other investment instruments on your own. More on this later, but for now let's get back to mutual funds.

Compared to other financial instruments, investing in shares is more profitable in the long run, but at the same time very risky.

Here you need to constantly keep your finger on the pulse, monitor the situation in the markets, so as to prevent the loss of capital in a strong fall in financial markets that occur during all kinds of crises.

To more clearly understand what profit can be made on shares, watch the video “How to earn 678% profit on Sberbank shares”.

Video: How to earn 678% profit on Sberbank shares

Bonds

This financial instrument is designed for people who are not inclined to risk. It is very difficult to get a big profit on it. Typically, the return on bonds is no higher than the return on bank deposits. Therefore, this financial instrument can hardly be called a profitable investment.

However, this does not mean that bonds should not be invested. The fact is that it is not recommended to “keep all your eggs in one basket”. Experienced and successful investors always spread their funds in several different instruments in order to reduce their risks.

Imagine that you have invested all your money in stocks, but after a while there was a crisis in the market and their prices fell. Along with this, the amount of your capital will decrease. To prevent this from happening, you need to invest part of the money in deposits, part of the money in bonds, gold, and so on.

In this case, you will lose on one instrument, but you will win on other instruments. But back to bonds:

A bond is a debt issuance security that confirms the right of its owner to receive a certain amount of money from the issuer.

And in order to understand how to properly distribute funds between various financial instruments in order to reduce risks and increase the profitability of your investments, read these articles:

Forex

Forex (Forex, sometimes FX, from English.FOReign EXchange- foreign currency exchange) is a market of interbank currency exchange at free prices.

The essence of Forex is speculation with the currencies of various countries. For example, you bought 100 euros for 90 dollars. And after some time they sold these 100 euros for 120 dollars. Thus, earning $ 30 on this transaction.

In Forex, trading always takes place in currency pairs, as in the example above. Changes in the value of currencies occur constantly and depend on many factors. For example, in Greece the economy is not developing, the state does not receive profits, but the country needs to be supported somehow. Since Greece is part of the European Union (EU), everything in this country is sold and bought in euros.

Thus, the instability of the economy of one state influenced the attitude of investors towards the entire EU. Investors felt a threat to their capital and urgently began to get rid of the euro. All this led to a fall in the value of the euro against the currencies of other states. It is on such movements that money is earned in Forex.

This method of investing can be called profitable only if you yourself trade on Forex, when you already have extensive experience, your own strategy for entering and exiting the market, as well as an iron will.

There are only a few people who have made a fortune in forex. But those who tried to get rich on this and went bankrupt - millions. Draw your own conclusions.

Cumulative life insurance

This way of investing can hardly be called profitable. As the name implies, this is insurance in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Its difference from conventional insurance is that it is a combination of human life and health insurance with a program to accumulate, preserve and increase your capital.

If ordinary insurance simply pays you a certain amount in the event of an insured event, then in this case, if nothing happened during the entire period of the contract, you will be able to receive either the entire amount accumulated over the years, or receive a monthly payment until the end of life.

OFBU

OFBU stands for Banking Management General Funds. In fact, these are the same mutual funds, but with broader investment functions. On the one hand, this is a plus, since by investing in OFBU you have the opportunity to increase profits through wider investment combinations. On the other hand, it is more risky.

There were cases when OFBU showed a yield of 600% per annum. However, the main problem lies in the fact that the activities of OFBUs are not regulated by legislation, which is why they are less subject to control, unlike the same mutual funds.

There are also cases when the short-sighted activities of managers led to the complete collapse of the OFBU.

You can read more about the activities of general funds of banking management here:. On my own behalf, I will add that at the moment it is best to invest in OFBU such an amount of funds that you will not be sorry to lose if something happens.

hedge funds

I must say right away that in our country this is a relatively new and not sufficiently developed financial instrument, which is available only to wealthy clients.

The minimum entry amount here starts from a few hundred dollars to a million. In the West, hedge funds are very popular.

Hedge funds do not have a clear regulatory framework, which allows them to freely choose enrichment strategies and use a wide range of financial instruments when investing money in various markets. The result of the work of hedge funds can be both super profits and huge losses.

One of the most striking examples of hedge funds is the Quantum fund, founded by the notorious , who was able to make a profit equal to $ 1 billion in a day!

Structural (structured) products

A structured (structured) financial product is a complex financial instrument that is issued, as a rule, by commercial and investment banks and is created to meet the specific needs of clients.

This financial instrument became especially popular during the crisis. After all, when you invest in a growing market and constantly receive good profits, this is one thing, but when the situation on the markets is not stable, especially during crises, many investors are trying to find reliable ways to invest funds that will give them greater profits than banking deposits.

The essence of a structural product is simple - part of the funds, as a rule, 80-90% is invested in bank deposits or bonds, but the remaining 10-20% is invested in futures and options.

All this allows, in the worst case scenario, to stay with your money and not lose anything, at best, make a profit of about 20-30%. This is not very much, but it is higher than the yield on bank deposits.

But again, nothing to compare it to. For example, the most successful investor in the world, Warren Buffett, has been providing his clients with about 24% per annum over the past 35 years. 24% per annum does not seem to be much, but only Buffett and no one else can receive such a profit consistently for many years.

Gold and precious metals

For many people, wealth is associated with a mountain of gold. Since ancient times, this metal has been a symbol of wealth and power, so it has become the cause of quarrels, robberies, murders and even wars.

Gold should not be considered as the most profitable way to invest, despite the fact that in recent years it has risen in price a lot. The fact is that most often gold acts as a refuge for investors in difficult times.

When crises dominate the world, in order to wait them out, investors withdraw their savings from stocks, bonds and other financial products, and then invest in gold.

As soon as the crisis recedes, investors immediately look for more profitable ways to invest. This is the reason for the rise in the price of gold in difficult times. But then, the price of precious metals inevitably falls.

Real estate

Real estate has always been a profitable way to invest. Not only that, real estate itself does not depreciate and, as a rule, it only rises in price from year to year. But real estate also allows you to receive passive income from renting it out.

True, there is one serious “but” here, which is the high cost of real estate. In fact, this is an investment for wealthy people. Because of what, this method of investing should be considered not at the initial stage, but when you already have big capital and you have the opportunity to invest in various financial instruments.

True, there are exceptions. For example, you can profitable to invest in real estate at the stage of its construction. At this time, as a rule, there is no need to pay the full cost of housing and you can pay a certain monthly part.

Thus, if you have the opportunity to deposit the required amount and this will not affect the quality of your life, then you can safely look for suitable options. The fact is that at the construction stage, a square meter of housing costs much less than later, when the construction is completed.

Business

Each of the above financial tools, has a certain degree of risk (reliability). Depending on this, the range of possible profit changes. The riskier the financial instrument, the higher the return it can bring. However, so is the loss.

Each of these financial instruments has its own advantages and disadvantages. And under various life circumstances, it is worth choosing the best ways to invest. But, personally for myself, I have already determined the most profitable way To invest money is a business!

Why? Because business is unlimited dividends! And they will depend only on you. From your efficiency, imagination, diligence, ingenuity.

Any other financial instruments do not depend on you. They depend, for example, on the current market situation, on the conditions determined by other people, on the financial results of a particular company, on the actions of speculators, on marketers developing certain financial products.

Building your own business is entirely up to you.

This is where you set the rules by which you will play. Here you decide how much income you will receive. Of course, business also largely depends on various external circumstances. But, in any case, the last word is yours, even if you decide to sell it.

In 2007, I opened my own business for the first time. It was a small tanning studio. More precisely, it was a small room in one of the hairdressers, in which I installed a solarium, all the necessary accessories, planted an administrator and began to earn money.

This business has many benefits. I will talk about them in future releases. For now, I just want to draw your attention to the fact that this business has brought me good dividends. For the year I received more than 100% per annum.

It was a great test, during which I was able to show many of my talents. Organizational skills, managerial skills, design talents, tested his advertising vision.

"Someone can sit in the shade today just because someone once planted a tree."

Warren Buffett

No matter how they say it, but investments are part of any reasonable person. In contrast to the primitive work on the system " worked - ate“Investing money can also bring income during the holidays, even if it lasts for decades.

Trite, but true.

The question of where to invest money to make it work is relevant today more than ever, because everyone does not want to count pennies in line at the pharmacy in retirement, but to travel the world and enjoy life. But doing this on an existing pension is simply impossible.

If you think that you have a great job right now, a lot of money and you can spend everything, because tomorrow there will be more - this is not so. By not investing today, you are depriving yourself of the future.

After all, at some point you will not want or be able to work, which in this case will bring you income?

To begin with, we will show you the investment portfolio and its profitability, as an example of real investment profit figures for the last month, and then we will consider the types of investments separately.

If you have not yet decided where to invest your money, then you can focus on this portfolio. I invest only in the most reliable PAMM accounts, and before investing money, I carefully analyze and weigh the pros and cons. Managers who satisfy the ratio of reliability / profitability become part of my investment portfolio. I systematically withdraw profits, reinvest, replenish investments and add new assets.

But here on the blog I update the portfolio once a month and it is NOT a copy of my portfolio and a reason for 100% copying, as some PAMMs do not have time to get here, being short-term or high-risk, while others are excluded before the end of the month. This portfolio contains successful PAMM accounts that, in my opinion, deserve attention.

This portfolio of PAMM accounts is a rough guide and indicator of opportunities. Here are collected PAMM accounts according to the criteria of stable profitability throughout the year, in which a large number of investors invest.

You can also add more aggressive PAMM accounts, exclude unprofitable ones in time and add new profitable managers.

Investing money in the stock market

In this article, we will talk about where to invest money with the greatest benefit.

Investing in stocks is the classic way to invest. The average yield here can be from 10 to 20% per year, but it can be much higher.

What are stocks on the stock exchange? This, in fact, is the foundation on which the world rests, because each of us in the bathroom has funds from Nivea, Johnson & Johnson, Gillette…, everyone has phones Apple, Samsung, Lenovo… there are computers in the rooms Acer, Asus, HP, on operating systems Windows; shop furniture IKEA and clothes in the wardrobe from Versace, Lacoste, Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation.

All we want to say is that we are all consumers of the products of private companies.

If you are looking for where to invest money, then stocks are a great way to earn not only on the products of companies themselves, but also to secure a constant substantial income. This is an interesting process that will teach you how to think like an investor, understand different markets, compare prices and choose the best.

How to invest in shares?

Everything is very simple, shares are traded on stock exchanges, and they are sold through special intermediaries - brokers. You do not need to travel somewhere, stand in lines, run around with documents... You can buy shares without getting out of bed. Register, replenish the deposit and buy shares.

  • It is worth noting that well-known and already successful companies will not always be the best idea.

After all, it's not just about the name, but also about the profit. For example, capitalization Google about 500 billion dollars. Imagine What do companies need to do to double their growth?

And now let's take a small chain of clothing stores or restaurants, in order for their shares to grow 2-3 times, it is enough to expand the sales market, open several new points of sale, and this is quite realistic to do within a year.

That is why some new startups and companies can bring not 20% per annum, but more than 1000%.

For the sake of completeness, we decided to show our example of earning on stocks.

We went to the website of a broker with whom we have been working for many years -. In assets, we selected Ferrari shares and clicked on the button BUY:

A few days later, the share price went up, as did our profit:

To make a profit on your personal account, you need to sell shares, that is, close our deal:

The results of the transaction can be viewed on the same page of the trading platform in the tab Deals:

Watch a video about investing in stocks from Robert Kiyosaki:

Investment benefits. Investing in stocks has been around for over 150 years. Every third American and every second Japanese owns shares in a company. And as you know, the pensioners of these countries are quite satisfied with their lives. Dividends and profits from owning shares can be received throughout life. Buying and selling does not take more than 10 minutes. You can start already from 200 dollars.

Minuses. Investing in shares carries the risk that the company may depreciate. But for this, it is carried out, an investment portfolio is compiled. In this case, even if one company loses positions, the remaining companies in the portfolio will provide the investor with a positive return.

Real estate

Real estate - the traditional way where can you invest money. It is difficult to say something new on this topic. We have included real estate in the list where you can invest for obvious reasons. Real estate is a valuable asset for any person. Real estate can be rented out, whether it is an apartment, an office, a garage or a shopping center. Real estate, albeit not immediately, but rises in price, especially if it is purchased in a new area, where in 10 years there will be a fully populated and active center.

Although, of course, in today's realities, even for the next decade, the purchase of real estate in 99% of cases can hardly be called an investment. After all, the maximum that the majority receives - it is the safety of funds.

Advantages of investment. Safe investment with minimal risk. With a skillful approach, you can extract a monthly profit before the final sale.

Minuses. These are slow investments that in most cases turn out to be just saving money and do not increase the capital of the investor, but, on the contrary, freeze it.

Startups

Startups are young innovative companies. Many people call themselves a startup not by offering something radically new, but by presenting a new version of " old". In reality, a startup is a company with a product that did not exist before. The same Google or once were startups, offering the world something that did not exist before. In two decades, those who invested in well-known start-ups at the beginning became millionaires.

Today, new companies are born in the world that have a chance for rapid growth.

How to invest in a startup?

The most profitable way is to wait for confirmation that the company is successful, really has demand and will develop. We're talking about.

In the early days of an IPO, company stocks can rise by more than 100%.

And you don't need to hold the stock any further, on the contrary, after the first days IPO shares need to be sold fixing profits, since more than 70% of companies do not withstand further expectations of investors and the market, and fall in price to a reasonable level, and in the following years they do not grow at all, of course, we are not talking about all of them without exception.

  • Startups are an interesting way to make money on investments, because the growth of a company can be huge in a short time.

You can inquire about new startups, upcoming IPOs, analyze companies and invest in the best of them. One successful investment can pay back the losses of 10 unsuccessful ones many times over. It is these rapid rises that make this niche very profitable for investors.

Startup benefits. If there is income, then it will be high. You can invest both at the source and later on the company's IPO.

Minuses. You need to soberly assess whether the market is ready for the company's product and look at the numbers, not the presentation.

Binary Options

Binary options cannot be called an investment in the classical sense of the word, but still it is the most profitable investment to date. so simple that they have only 2 conditions - UP and WAY DOWN hence the name - binary. The bottom line is that you choose an asset ( the same stocks, oil, gold, stock indices…) and specify the condition - whether the price of the asset will rise or fall.

  • The term of the transaction determines the scope, for example, you have invested in a stock option with the condition that the quote rises for 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes the shares rise in price relative to the rate at the time of buying the option, you will receive a predetermined fixed profit in 70-80%! Moreover, it doesn’t matter how much the asset grows, only the condition is important - Higher, that is, growth can be at least 1 point.

Thus, you can earn not only on the growth but also on the fall of the price, using the DOWN option condition.

Among the assets of binary options, the most liquid stocks and stock indices, commodities and currencies. And this is very convenient, because according to these assets, news is released daily, which allow you to earn.

For example, tomorrow the new iPhone goes on sale - this is a clear sign that tomorrow Apple stock will rise. Buy an UP option on Apple stock and earn a guaranteed profit.

The interesting thing is that you can invest in binary options for a period of time. from a minute to a month, while the amount of profit remains unchanged - within 70-80%, depending on the asset. Instead of a lot of words, we will show you how it works on the example of a broker:

1. Choose an asset. In our case, the choice fell on stocks Google:

Specify the term of the transaction, that is, the time of its completion:

At the moment, Google stock quotes are rising, while the price has touched the lower support line. We predict growth - enter the amount of investment and click UP:

We opened a deal for 10 minutes. At the appointed time, the option was automatically closed and the broker showed the results of the transaction:

At the time of purchase of the option, the stock price was 779.205 . In the conditions, we indicated that at the time of closing the option, the price will be higher. According to the results, she was listed at the mark 780.260 . Having invested $60, we returned $102, of which $42 is net profit:

Our growth condition was fulfilled and we got 70% profit!

Advantages of investment. 70% profit in 10-20 minutes is an indisputable plus. The ease and simplicity of the process makes this type of investment the most accessible.

Minuses. For successful investments, it is necessary to analyze the asset, use strategies, and other tools, not every person is able to correctly understand the market.

PAMM accounts

We continue to review the best options where everyone can profitably invest money, and one of these options is. The creator of this opportunity was the largest broker in Russia in the foreign exchange market, which is regulated by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and has a license from it to carry out operations in the financial market.

A PAMM account is a trader's account that investors can invest in.

Thus, a trader trades on the stock exchange not only with his own funds, but also with the funds of investors. PAMM account manager gives from 50 to 90% profit to its investors. An unlimited number of people can invest in a PAMM account, and the profit is divided in proportion to the deposits. For example, a PAMM account managed by more than 4 million dollars:

The broker provides full monitoring of the PAMM account, which reflects profit by day, week, month, transaction volumes, investment volumes and other data. Among many successful PAMM accounts, there are managers with more than three years of experience, that is, PAMM accounts have been generating profits for many years, and in general, this is not a novelty today.

In any case, PAMM accounts continue to bring good profits, the average profitability of an investor who has a portfolio of 10-15 managers from 50 to 100% per annum.

If you reinvest the profits, you can earn more 810% in just 3 years:

Benefits of investing. This type of investment has already proven itself with time and profitability. Amounts for investment are affordable for the majority of the population. You can withdraw money instantly at any time.

Minuses. There are practically no downsides to portfolio investment. It can be called a minus that some investors invest in non-professional managers with unstable trading.

Bank deposits

A bank deposit should be considered not so much an investment as a way to store money, allowing you to more or less protect them from inflation. Profit up to 10% per annum can hardly be called serious. Nevertheless, this option is still very popular among the population, even though the country's banking system is going through hard times today.

Traditionally, investors have the greatest confidence in Sberbank, VTB, Gazprombank. They offer to place deposits at not the highest interest rates ( from 7 to 8%), but stand out favorably in terms of reliability. We do not recommend participating in long-term programs, even if they offer more favorable conditions. The current situation in the sector is such that it is better to limit ourselves to "titmouse in hand". In any case, placing money in a bank is just a way to store it. If you are interested in investing, you should look for other offers.

“How many millionaires do you know who got rich by investing in bank deposits? That's the same."

Robert J. Allen

It's a different story if you're investing through investment banks like Goldman Sachs. It is worth saying that investments there also do not bring a huge percentage, it can be the same 8-10% per annum and some risks.

Why is this being done?

It's all about the amounts. If you have $20 million, you won't put all your money in one Sberbank account, right? We all know about instability and the rules of diversification. Besides, Goldman Sachs, Barclays and similar ones can offer favorable conditions for the investor, professional portfolio management, etc.

Benefits of deposits Reliable and virtually risk-free.

Minuses. Low interest, you can withdraw money under the terms of some deposits only after 1-3 years.

ETFs

If you are looking for a better way to invest in the stock market, you should probably be interested in such an option as exchange-traded investment funds (). They represent a portfolio of assets, basically, as closely as possible repeating some stock index, for example, or. Thus, by purchasing one ETF share, you immediately receive a whole diversified portfolio formed by true professionals.

In fact, ETFs are the same mutual funds - you get a share in the portfolio (in an ETF it is a share, in a mutual fund it is shares), but there are a number of differences.

  • As in a conventional mutual fund, it is professionally managed by a management company.
  • If in mutual fund the amount of the minimum investment is set by the management company or the sales agent, then in ETFs it is equal to the price of one share.
  • Also, you cannot sell shares from a mutual fund at any second, unlike shares on the stock exchange.
  • Mutual investment funds themselves can have ETF shares in their assets, only in this case they take their percentage for this.

In short, ETFs have created a sensation in the stock market, being full-fledged portfolios.

An important advantage of exchange-traded funds is the ability to trade throughout the day. During this time, the price of ETF shares may change, while the size of a mutual fund share is calculated only once per session. Units cannot be purchased with borrowed or borrowed funds. For ETF shares, this is acceptable. Additional commissions may be charged when trading units of mutual funds. Work with shares of exchange-traded investment funds is exempted from such "extortions".

Where to find ETF shares? In the same place where all the shares are - on the stock exchange. Actually, the process of buying Google shares from ETF shares is no different. We described this process a little higher, where there is also a list of the best brokers.

Advantages of investment. Ready-made investment portfolios of shares. There are thousands of ETFs with different portfolios. Reliable long-term investment.

Minuses. It is necessary to monitor the industry in order to sell in time if a decline begins, and as a rule, if there is a decline somewhere, then there is growth somewhere, that is, you can sell some ETFs and immediately buy others.

Art

If there is a desire not only to earn money, but also to get aesthetic pleasure from the process, we recommend that you think about purchasing art objects. Suffice it to say that the main buyers of such things are not passionate collectors and wealthy connoisseurs, namely financial market players. You don't have to be an expert at all. You can always use the services of competent consultants.

Paintings are by far the most common commodity. On average, the creation of a popular contemporary artist today will cost from $ 5,000. Over the years, the cost of a masterpiece can increase hundreds of times.

For example, Andy Warhol's Lemon Marilyn was purchased in 1962 for $250. After 45 years, it was sold for $28 million. 250,000% per annum.

It makes sense to acquire the works of masters of the second half of the last century - now it is them" time. Naturally, it is not worth counting on a quick return on such investments. In any case, you will become the owner of a valuable work of art, that is, a fairly reliable asset.

According to the statistics of gallery catalogs, even three-year-old paintings are already becoming more expensive by an average of 40-60%, as you understand, there are paintings among them with a growth of 1000%. As the auction houses explain, the increase in the cost of paintings is directly related to the activity of the artist. If he regularly exhibits at exhibitions, receives new awards, then with each such step his paintings can rise in price. by 100%.

Investment benefits. Very rich and developed personalities are engaged in investments in art. In addition, they can bring large percentages, especially if the artist is gaining popularity or even died.

Minuses. A long-term investment that requires the advice of an art expert. It is advantageous to collect collections of paintings by one or more artists, which can be costly.

Investment in trading

Trading is an investment in yourself.

Now many will think that trading is money from speculation in the stock market, profit from the amounts invested in exchange assets ... But first of all, trading is good investment in yourself.

Many people say that investing in yourself is profitable. How? Specifically in numbers? Invest in education and get a job? It's a life, not an investment.

Unlike other jobs associated with preliminary training, trading provides unlimited opportunities where it is not necessary to have an economic education. The thing is, trading starts with personal preparation. You must be prepared psychologically, and everything else - matter of technology.

  • Today there is no difference between a financial analyst and an Internet user, since all information is stored and presented only on the Internet. It equalizes almost everyone!

In order to get into trading, you need to read at least about it, draw up an action plan, a financial plan, and start collecting information about the market and assets. Of course, not everything is so simple, but this is already the beginning. There are many examples when people earned millions in a couple of years and went on an indefinite vacation without worrying about anything.

Can a lawyer with three years of experience, or a doctor, or a manager boast of such success?

For example, the broker allows you to trade stocks, indices, commodity futures like oil, gas, metals, agricultural products, energy and others:

Why have we come to view trading as an opportunity to invest money? Because it is profitable, it is available to everyone, it is interesting and right here money is born. All banks are trading on stock exchanges, trade currencies, bonds and so on. So why invest in banks when you can earn money through the banking system yourself?

The benefits of trading. Unlimited opportunities to work for yourself, without a schedule and in comfortable conditions. Due to the vast amount of information about the markets, it is not necessary to have a financial education or special connections.

Minuses. Successful trading requires mental preparation, a sufficient deposit to survive losses and overcome risks.

Individual investment account

Since 2015, a new concept has appeared in the legislation of the Russian Federation - individual investment account. By placing funds on such an account, you receive a guaranteed tax deduction 13% from the invested amount ( annually) or are exempt from tax on income received as a result of financial transactions.

Consider the benefits of placing money in an individual investment account:

  • To open here, it is enough to deposit everything 5 000 rubles.
  • The maximum amount that will be deducted - 400 000 rubles.

You can only replenish your account with cash. The broker offers four investment options.

  1. If you just want to receive passive income, choose a savings strategy and you will be charged 5.5% per annum. Don't forget about the guaranteed 13% tax deduction.
  2. Under the conservative option, the investor's funds will be invested in reliable, low-risk fixed-income instruments. This may additionally bring up to 15% per year. Such activity is recommended if the account has more than 100,000 rubles.
  3. The optimal strategy can generate income up to 30% per annum, however, the risks increase significantly. It is worth using it if you have more than 250,000 rubles.
  4. The most risky is an aggressive strategy that can bring up to 50%

2015-2016 promise to be difficult for most Russians. The economic situation in the country has heated up to the limit. And the general situation in the world suggests that the crisis is not far off. Many are already asking the question: “Where can you invest money so that it works and generates income? » . There will be many similar questions in this article. We will try to give answers to them, because the ruble is losing its position in the financial market every day. And the issue of capital preservation is becoming more and more acute.

The crisis in Russia is close. How to earn on your savings?

Where to invest money to make it work? This is the main question posed by the majority of Russian citizens. After all, it is no secret to anyone that the political and economic situation in the world has become extremely aggravated in recent years. The instability in the financial market now and then affects the daily lives of many people. The ruble is falling at an incredible rate, this is due to many factors. First of all, the Russian economy was affected by the crisis in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed by the EU in connection with it. But to a greater extent, according to experts, the cost of oil is to blame, which in the last year has dropped to a maximum level. All these factors significantly influenced the ruble exchange rate. Ever since the national currency lost the confidence of its citizens, the Russians have been asking the question: “Where is it safe to invest money?” After all, many experts argue that the ruble can devalue. And this, in turn, will lead to the fact that many will lose their savings. But that's not all. Analysts are confident that in 2015 there will be massive job cuts and wage cuts. Therefore, speaking about where it is now profitable to invest money, many still think about how to make money on them.

Investing money in a bank. Benefit of the deposit

Where to invest money to make a profit? One of the most popular ways for Russians to keep their savings is a bank. Of course, many use banks solely as a financial cushion with the amount of funds to live on for a short period. But you can approach this option from the other side. Due to the fact that this year the Central Bank of Russia raised the key rate to 17%, it has become very profitable to put savings on deposit. After all, interest rates have become much higher, especially for deposits in the national currency. Although deposits in foreign currencies can also be no less profitable. In addition, some changes were made to the tax code. That is why, using a deposit, you can not only invest money profitably, but also protect your savings from the risks associated with it. When choosing this method to save your own funds, experts recommend contacting the most trusted and reliable organizations. For example, Sberbank, Gazprom, VTB and others Making a deposit will not take much time and, in turn, will bring a pleasant monthly income. If you invest a large amount, then you can even live on the interest offered by state banks today!

Real estate investment

Answering the question: “What to invest money in in 2015?”, Many experts recommend turning to such a proven and safe type of investment as real estate. Everyone knows that it is she who takes first place in terms of trust from citizens. But often many people use square meters solely as a way to save their savings. Forgetting that such an investment instrument can bring a considerable income to its owner. Of course, the acquisition of real estate will require considerable funds. But if you skillfully manage them, then the profit from the acquired real estate will cover all costs. It is best to buy an apartment at the initial stage of building a house. Such projects bring the highest income. This is especially true for luxury housing. In addition, it is not at all necessary to sell this property in the future, there is always the opportunity to rent out your square meters. But for this you need to carefully consider the infrastructure and location of the apartment when buying it. Carefully inspect everything that may negatively affect the client's interest: number of storeys, communications, view from the window. All these little things play a very important role when renting an apartment. But at the same time, having executed a profitable deal with a client, you can count on a good monthly income. What is as profitable to invest money as in real estate?

Forex market and PAMM accounts

Where to invest money to make it work? Often, reflecting on this issue, experts confidently talk about the Forex market. In the investment market of Russia, a new form for investing funds called PAMM account has recently appeared. Experienced players declare with confidence that with the help of such accounts you can earn good money. This is especially beneficial today. After all, the principle of earning money is precisely that it is necessary to play on currency races. And today there is just such a trend in the financial market. But experts warn that almost 90% of beginners, starting to work on the Forex market on their own, lose their savings. Firstly, there is not enough experience and knowledge, and secondly, for many, Forex trading is just a side type of income, which is why there is not enough time to delve into the intricacies of the foreign exchange market. Therefore, experienced players often advise beginners to use the services of a professional trader. Well, or, in extreme cases, take a series of training courses, which are often offered for free by investment companies and exchanges.

Securities and shares

During past crises, many Russian citizens, at the risk of losing their savings, invested them in securities and stocks. Those who at least somehow understood this business, after a few years already had a good income. Well, those who had no experience in working with stocks lost their last savings. Answering the question: “Where to invest money to make it work?”, we can say that investing in shares will bring a decent profit. But this can take years, and you also need to have a sufficient level of skills and knowledge to choose a worthy company. It is best to trust a professional manager with a good history of profitability. But even in this case, one cannot be one hundred percent sure that the shares will bring profit. After all, today's market is so volatile that it can devalue the shares of absolutely any company in just a couple of minutes. And experts advise: before choosing this type of investment, consult with experts or use special courses that will help you gain some knowledge in this area.

Investing in gold and other metals

There is a category of citizens in Russia who, each time faced with a crisis problem in the country, absolutely do not ask themselves the question: “Where to invest money in order to earn money?” This category includes people who trust only this type of investment, like gold. This is not surprising. After all, since ancient times, gold has been considered. On the modern market, the situation has changed somewhat, but the fact that gold is generally becoming more expensive is an indisputable fact. Of course, over time, the trends of such investment have changed somewhat, and today bank customers are successfully investing not only in gold, but also in other metals. These include silver, platinum and palladium. There are several ways to invest your savings in precious metals: buy a gold bar at a bank (but you will have to pay a 13% tax), buy gold coins (you can find them at Sberbank and other similar large organizations), buy back securities (only those that are secured by gold, through the stock exchange), as well as open a non-cash metal account. For those who have never used this type of investment, it is best to stop at the last option.

New of the season! Investing in art

It is not surprising that, facing the question “where is it profitable to invest money now”, many choose not quite standard types of investments. Recently, investing in art has become fashionable. But this is not just a fashionable trend, but really a very promising type of investment. After all, with some lots you can get a benefit equal to 100 or even more percent of its value. But there are also some important points. In order to really make money in this market, you need to understand art to some extent. Or use the services of experts and appraisers. Yes, and understand fashion trends, so to speak, try to predict what will be at the peak of fashion in the near future. It all sounds very strange and complicated. In fact, the profit from this type of investment is high exactly as much as the work in this area is difficult. It is for this reason that this type of investment will not be mastered by everyone. But everyone wants to invest money profitably!

Investing in the Internet

Where it is really profitable to invest today is the Internet. After all, the Internet is present in the life of every person. Every year this type of investment is gaining more and more popularity. There are a lot of investment options on the Internet, everyone will be able to choose the most suitable way of earning for themselves. The most important thing in this case is not to stumble upon scammers. After all, with the growing popularity of this type of investment, the number of cases related to customer fraud has also increased. In order not to become one of the deceived investors, it is necessary to carefully study all the documentation, and, if possible, any information about the selected company. Where to invest money to get more? The choice is not just wide, but huge: HYIPs, cryptocurrencies, sites, MFA sites, etc. Starting from creating your own website and ending with profitable investment in promising projects, you can earn very profitably. It is difficult to say exactly how much you can earn on investments on the Internet. It all depends on how much money will be invested and which direction the investor will choose. But given the fact that the Internet is becoming more popular every day, the risks of losing your investments are quite low.

Investments in your own business

Where to invest money to earn a simple person? After all, not everyone can decide to give their savings to the bank or buy unreliable shares on them. For the category of citizens who are suspicious of investing in other people's companies, experts advise considering the option of opening a private business. Moreover, now is the right time for this. Foreign companies, due to sanctions and the unprofitability of doing business in Russia, will hastily leave the Russian Federation. This will reduce competition in the trade market. And the commercial real estate market is likely to reduce the cost per square meter. All this will provide an excellent opportunity for a novice entrepreneur to start a successful business of his own. Where to invest? It is best to turn to basic necessities, clothing or food. The dollar, most likely, will still grow, so you can fill the assortment with national goods and dilute it with Chinese products. Experts also recommend looking at areas such as pharmacy and funeral services. No matter how strange it may sound, but such organizations will always be profitable.
