Investment Vehicles


Different people have different needs and different investment goals. Hence Investment plans may vary from person to person. For Ex: Why do we have so many different type of cars and trucks? Because different people have different needs. A farmer would find the Tata Sumo useful at his village, while people staying in the city would prefer any other luxuroius car for his purpose. In the same way in the Investment world , different investment products are called Investment Vehicles. Say, a person from Mumbai has to go to hotel in Kolkata, he would use a train or a car or abus to reach there. On reaching Kolkata, to go to his hotel he would chose a bicycle, a taxi, a bus or a rickshaw. Similarly, when one has an investment plan in place one can choose one or more investment vehicles according to their needs and means.
