Multiple ways to get access to equity investments

Many people in many countries have a lot of money to invest. The problem that many of these investors face nowadays is that making a portfolio growing at a respectable return is not as easy as it used to be. Savings interest rates are at the bottom or even in some cases negative. The question is then how to make money from your investments. Well, there is only one way: this is by taking risks. What about if you want to avoid taking risks? Well, you have only one option: put your savings in a bank rated triple-A by one of the top rating agencies such a Moody’s. However, if you go that way, you can be sure that you will find your money in your bank account but you can also be sure that the returns you would have made would be very close to 0%. Some people might argue that investing in real estate is not risky.. well when you hear someone telling you that you should just not listen anymore. Rates are certainly historically low, but property prices in most countries are also historically high. The risk of price correction in real estate is currently major. Therefore, if you are looking for real returns, you need to accept risks and the good news is that you do not necessarily need to have large amounts right now to start investing in stocks for instance. There are multiple ways to get access to equity investments with a small portfolio.
