About this course

This course explains how investing fits within personal financial planning. It distinguishes saving from investing, shows how inflation and compounding affect money over time, links risk to goals and time horizon, compares common investment avenues available to Pakistanis, and provides a disciplined process for diversification, due diligence, account opening and review. It does not recommend a product, return target, platform or asset allocation.
