The way by which investments like stocks, bonds, mutual funds and etfs earn income are by dividends. Investments also helps to beat inflation, which eats into our savings in the long run. If an investor wants safe and secured type of investments, he can invest in fixed deposits, debt funds and recurring deposits. If an investor is looking to generate a corpus over a long time frame, then he should go for equity investments. The investors whi have a good risk appetite generally should go for equity investments as it has a very high risk reward ratio.
