An investor is an individual or entity that commits capital with the expectation of receiving financial returns. This capital can take various forms, such as money, time, or other resources. The primary goal of an investor is to grow their wealth through the appreciation of their assets or the income generated from them. Investors engage in a wide range of activities, from purchasing stocks and bonds to investing in real estate, private equity, or even starting their own businesses. The level of risk an investor is willing to undertake often correlates with their expected return; higher risk investments generally have the potential for higher rewards, but also carry a greater chance of loss. Investors can be individuals, such as retail investors managing their personal savings, or institutions like pension funds, hedge funds, or mutual funds that manage large pools of capital on behalf of many clients. The decision to invest is typically based on an analysis of market conditions, economic forecasts, and the specific characteristics of the investment opportunity. Diversification, the strategy of spreading investments across different asset classes and sectors, is a common approach to mitigate risk.
