But before diving into all the concepts and numbers (and&nbsp;risk getting lost and overwhelmed), why not start with understanding the usual vocabulary used in investing? This is&nbsp;a good way&nbsp;to slowly navigate the exciting and potentially rewarding world of investments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The importance of financial literacy<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIMB Bank Philippines, the country\u2019s most awarded digital-only commercial bank, has long advocated for financial inclusion so Filipinos can live their purpose. Part of this is to encourage people to understand the many ways of growing their hard-earned money beyond the usual savings accounts, which is why the Bank supports efforts to educate Filipinos on the basics of investing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding key financial terms&nbsp;can&nbsp;help Filipinos make informed decisions&nbsp;to&nbsp;avoid costly&nbsp;mistakes, such as putting money into investments that&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;match their goals or&nbsp;are too&nbsp;risky for their taste. It also&nbsp;opens&nbsp;up&nbsp;more opportunities to build wealth through&nbsp;acquiring&nbsp;new&nbsp;knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is an investment?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before anything else, we need to understand \u2013 what does it mean to invest? According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/investment.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Investopedia<\/a>, an investment is an asset or item&nbsp;acquired&nbsp;with the goal of generating income over time. Unlike a regular savings account, which typically lets you earn money with more modest interest rates, investments have the potential to generate higher earnings \u2013 though they may also come with greater risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Philippines, beginners can explore a range of accessible options, such as time deposits, stocks, mutual funds, and even government-backed programs like Pag-IBIG MP2. Each option carries its own balance of risk and potential rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Understanding risk and return<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk is a&nbsp;pretty common&nbsp;word, but in finance,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/r\/risk.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">risk<\/a>&nbsp;refers to the possibility that the actual results of an investment or decision may turn out differently, often less favorable than what was originally anticipated.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/r\/return.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Returns<\/a>, on the other hand, refers to the gain or loss that an investment generates over time.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/investing.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This article<\/a>&nbsp;teaches us that risk and&nbsp;return&nbsp;go&nbsp;hand-in-hand&nbsp;in investing.&nbsp;Low risk&nbsp;generally means&nbsp;lower expected return, while higher returns are usually accompanied by higher risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diversification to manage risk<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you get the idea of risk and returns, another important term is diversification.&nbsp;This is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/d\/diversification.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">described<\/a>&nbsp;as a risk management strategy that creates a mix of various investments within a portfolio. This means spreading your investments across different assets instead of putting all your money into one. A common way to think about this is the saying \u201cdon\u2019t put all your eggs in one basket,\u201d so that if one investment performs badly, others may balance it out and lessen the blow of potential losses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another key factor:&nbsp;time horizon<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing is not a get-rich-quick scheme \u2013 it can&nbsp;also&nbsp;take&nbsp;some&nbsp;time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/t\/timehorizon.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">An investment time horizon<\/a>&nbsp;is&nbsp;the period you hold on to an investment to reach specific financial goals.&nbsp;This can be short-term, such as investments with the goal&nbsp;to save&nbsp;money for a vacation in the near future, or longer-term, such&nbsp;as&nbsp;investments intended for retirement decades down the line.&nbsp;Your time horizon often influences the type of investment that may be suitable for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liquidity: having access to your money<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of an investment is to earn money and to eventually be able to use that money for other purposes. This is where a working knowledge of liquidity matters.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/l\/liquidity.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liquidity<\/a>&nbsp;refers&nbsp;to how easy it is to convert an asset into cash without affecting its value.&nbsp;The more liquid an asset is, the easier and more efficient it is to turn it back to cash.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a solid grasp of these basic terms,&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;better equipped to move on to studying the different investment options that align with your goals, risk appetite, and time horizon. This is a meaningful step towards making smarter financial decisions, helping you navigate your options with more confidence, avoid common money-making pitfalls, and start building&nbsp;a strong foundation&nbsp;for your financial future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting one\u2019s financial journey&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;have to be complicated.&nbsp;So go ahead, take that first step when&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;ready. Remember that small, informed&nbsp;steps today can lead to long-term wealth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days,&nbsp;price increases&nbsp;seem to
