Current Financial Investments

<p>It would be unusual to use this category. Most financial investments are held for a longer term than one year.

A&#160;<b >financial investment</b>&#160;is an asset that you put money into with the hope that it will grow or appreciate into a larger sum of money. The idea is that you can later sell it at a higher price or earn money on it while you own it. You may be looking to grow something over the next year, such as saving up for a car, or over the next 30 years, such as saving for retirement.</p>
