Excessive fees

For certain investments such as unit trust, there will be transaction fees involved. What you need to look out for are high investment fees and to stay away from it as it will then affect and minimize the return you get from your investment.

Agents

Some people opt to use services from agents who will do all the investing for you, and they will then have their share of what you make from the investment. As for the stock market, some people also choose to get a stock broker to do the work for them. All this will incur cost and you should compare and get the best deal as charges will vary.

Investment Scams

Like the saying, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”, the same goes for investment. If you are promised high returns at a short amount of time for example, beware! Aside from that, be vigilant and keep yourself updated with investment scams, and learn how to spot an investment scam to keep yourself protected.

A golden rule to always remember when investing is “do not put all your eggs in the same basket” by diversifying. Ultimately, you will need to take into account how much risk you are comfortable with taking on, the amount of money you can afford to invest and your preference before you make a decision.
