Did you know that over the last two centuries, abo Did you know that over the last two centuries, about 90% of the world’s millionaires made their money by investing in real estate? Buying real estate—whether on your own or by pooling your resources with other investors—is one possible way you can invest your money. Investing in real estate means owning land plus any buildings and other natural or man-made features on it. There are three main ways you can make money on a real estate investment: ✅ Price gains—i.e., you buy a property for a lower price and eventually sell it for a higher one ✅ Charging rent—whether you’re renting apartments to families, office complexes to corporations, or storefronts to retail businesses ✅ Harvesting resources—such as if you own timberlands or oil-producing properties 👉 And those three ways aren’t mutually exclusive. For example, you could buy a duplex, rent it out to tenants for a few years, and then eventually sell it for a profit to boot. Visit napkinfinance.com to learn more on this topic, including Property Types, Ways to Invest, as well as Benefits & Helpful Tips!

Hedge funds are investment funds that pool many in Hedge funds are investment funds that pool many investors’ money and then hire one or more professional managers to buy and sell specific investments. Although that basic structure is a lot like that of mutual funds, unlike mutual funds, hedge funds are lightly regulated and often high risk. You can think of them as like mutual funds on steroids. 💪💰 With high fees and high risk, you might wonder why anyone would choose hedge funds over other types of funds. It generally comes down to two potential benefits: ✅ The chance of higher returns. Because of their aggressive approaches and because looser regulations give them more leeway to boost returns, hedge funds have the potential to generate much higher returns than other funds. ✅ The need for diversification. Investors are always on the hunt for investments that don’t move in lockstep with traditional stocks and bonds (particularly for investments that may rise when stocks or bonds are falling). Because they can invest further afield, hedge funds can have an easier time delivering those types of returns than mutual funds or other mainstream investments. Given the barriers to entry for the average person, hedge fund investors typically include: ➡️ Pension funds ➡️ Foundations ➡️ University endowments ➡️ Family offices (a private company that handles investments for a very well-to-do family) ➡️ Wealthy people   👉 The word “hedge” actually has a specific meaning in investing? It means to reduce risk by making an investment that offsets the risk of another investment. A common misconception is that hedge funds engage in hedging. Some do, but plenty don’t. And did you know that just like Silicon Valley is the capital of the tech world, Greenwich, Connecticut, is the capital of the hedge fund world? 🧐 Swipe right to see some of the many flavors of hedge funds, and visit napkinfinance.com to learn more!
