Investment Evaluation

On Wednesday, I just met a friend telling me that he just invested in the best investment. He invested in Malaysian plantations that required him to hang on for 23 years; the investment will be giving him 8% returns per annum for the first 3 years, and subsequently 11% (and above) for the remaining 20 years.

As an Investment Strategist, I strongly believe that there is no such thing as a best investment. A best investment, based on our Investment Evaluation model, is one that fits your capital base, your risk profile, your required fund liquidity and your lifestyle and habits.

So next time, you hear your financial planners or friends telling you that theirs are the Best Investment opportunities available, do evaluate for yourself.
