I'd say an investment looks like an asset. Therefore, it is something that could be purchased today with the potential to provide me some interest in return.

Investing : principal is not lost in exchange of something
Saving : principal is not lost in exchange of nothing
Trading : principal is lost in exchange of something
Heist : principal is lost in exchange of nothing
The concept is irrelevant to the times, but not to the performance. The object could be anything, but what you do with the object is what make a difference between investing, saving, trading and heist. So, be careful and mind for what you do at the first place.

Thanks for sharing! I would like to know more about the differences between yield enhancement and performance enhancement. Would you elaborate more about it?

Over the next decade “modelling” suggests a 60/40 equity bond portfolio will get a return of 3%? Down from over 7%? Where on earth did that number come from lol
