Why invest?

Over time, money invested in the JSE has produced superior returns compared to all other forms of investment. In 2006, JP Morgan (a stockbroking firm) produced a report which compared the returns of the JSE, fixed deposits and inflation over 46 years. Over this time, the JSE outperformed all other class of investment. (measured after tax)

Start investing early for your retirement! This allows you to make up for any losses along the way and lets you take advantage of compound interest. Compounding means that you earn money over and above the money you have already invested. It basically accelerates the earning potential of your original investment. The earlier you start investing your savings, the greater the reward later in life.
