TYPES OF INVESTMENT


The concept of investment is often synonymous active. More specifically, it refers tofixed assets (the "Fixed Assets ") as long-term investments are kept with the intentionof deriving profit
As explained in 1.6, the assets are characterized by profitability, safety and liquidity.The combination of these three characteristics produce a wide variety of investments.Usually higher yielding investments are also the least liquid and most at risk. In contrast, liquidity and security are closely related concepts.
Performance: Ability to obtain an excess over the amount invested, as much as possible. It is usually measured in annual terms concerning, among other things,because it allows comparison with the cost of financing (interest).
Security: It is a concept otherwise at risk. This is defined as the probability of losing part of the investment (economic risk) or failing to meet payment obligations when due (financial risk). Economic risk is the very concept associated with the assets,while financial liabilities is proper (a measure of the economic risk of our creditors).There is no universal measure of risk. Often used the calculus of probability, eitherapplied to the gain or loss produced by each active, or to their own value.
Liquidity: Ability to transform an asset into cash, with greater immediacy as possible,with as little loss as possible and as safely as possible. There is a measure ofliquidity, but is determined on the basis of the legal nature of the assets. Thus, moneyis the only fully active liquid, although there are plenty of financial instruments (other than those considered "money") that are highly liquid.
