Turn your financial goals into an investment plan
A well-thought-out investment plan can help you thrive financially as well as protect you from falling into some common behavioural investment traps.
But how do you create an investment plan? And where do you start?
Crypto assets
Crypto-assets (crypto) include assets described as coins, tokens or sometimes cryptocurrencies. They digitally represent your ownership of a valuable thing or rights to something. They may or may not be backed by physical assets.
Crypto is a high-risk investment. The value of crypto is very volatile, often fluctuating by huge amounts within a short period.
Investment scams
Be suspicious of anyone offering you easy money. Scammers are skilled at convincing you that the investment is real, the returns are high and the risks are low. There's always a catch.
If you think you've been targeted by scammers, act quickly.
