Investing money in securities. I now know
a lot about securities and the stock
exchange, but how do I buy securities, can you help me? Sure, my elder brother has
already invested in shares and equity
funds and explained it to me.
So tell me! You have to start by setting
a goal. Do you want to maintain secure
your existing assets or build up new
ones. I'm 17 I haven't yet saved much and
would like to build something up over
the long term. Okay, well. You definitely
need a securities account at a bank to
manage your portfolio. You can choose one
of the many providers and deposit your
money there. And then I just buy any old
securities? No, you have to determine the
criteria that matter to you.
These include liquidity, i.e. how quickly
can you buy or sell your security at a
fair market price. Then their safety, i.e.
how much of a risk do you want to take.
And yield, i.e. how much of a return do you want on your investment. There's a lot to
consider. True, you should also think
about what happens to the money you
invest. Before you buy securities, it's
imperative that you consult experts
newspapers and the Internet. On the
Vienna Stock Exchange you can for
example access information on shares
bonds and investment funds. Can I finally
buy some securities? You're ready to go.
You have to keep an eye on your
portfolio and market events. If necessary, you adjust your portfolio.
Perfect, when I get my first job, I'll
invest some of my savings in securities,
but only those that I understand. Great!
