Whats a good investment ? Whats a "good Percentage"?while maintaining low risk ?

Question

looking for a good investment.

Answer 1

To compare investments one often uses the Sharpe ratio:

S= annual expected return/(risk - risk free rate)
where:
risk = standard deviation of the annual returns
risk free rate = the rate of a gouvernment bond corresponding to the period over which you want to invest your money, say 4.5%

Answer 2

Normally dividend paying stocks have less risk than non-dividend paying stocks. Bonds have normally less risk than stocks. Small cap stocks normally have a greater expected return than large cap stocks. Diversified investments have less risk than non-diversified investments.

A good percentage return over a long period of time is 10% to 13%.

Here are some investment ideas that have returned 13% or better in the past:

PENNX 14.87% annual return over last 25 years.
GAM 16.1% annual return since 1979. Been in existance since 1927.
IIF 13.4% since 1994

Answer 3

Hi,
First of all you should diversify your investment among low risk and high return investments. Don't put all eggs into one basket.

With such amount you could start your own stock/currency trading. Believe me this business could be very profitable. But this require good skills and suficcient experience. If you don't have an experience and would like to gain on passive investment then you should find experienced trader who accepts funds.

I'm forex trader-analyst for 5 years. I pay to my investors at least 5% monthly (usually more) for 12 months. Then principal returned or collaboration could be extended for next year. Reasonable investment amount US$10000 (ten thousand) and higher. Minimum invesment amount could be lower.
If you are interesting please conact me by PM or e-mail (press on my name) indicate amount and I provide you with further investment details.
It is real, stable, guaranteed

Good luck!

Answer 4

Low-risk investments are usually long-term investments. Bonds, mutual funds are low risk; you need to look at their returns over ten-year periods.

Buy government Bonds or invest in Exchange-traded Fund. Give around 1 to 4 percent according to duration of bond. while the ETF is a benchmark again a specific stock market. Can get it at any bank.

Answer 6

What type of risk are you refering to?

My biggest concern that I have is the risk of not having enough money to retire. That's why I choose good stocks and stock mutual funds for my retirement accounts. I'd suggest you do the same so that you mitigate the risk of running out of money and retirement income.
