Stephen Rice one minute pitch.
Savings and investments.
Your time starts now.
Deposit accounts or investment products?
00:00:15 Stephen Rice
Deposits for short-term need, such as your rainy day fund. Investments for longer term horizons, such as kids education, or indeed, your retirement.
00:00:23 - Question
Why choose an investment product to meet longer term needs.
00:00:26 Stephen Rice
Two main reasons, I suppose to beat deposit rates over the longer term, and secondly, to beat inflation.
