Frequently asked questions

Answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about growth-oriented investment.

  • Growth investments typically refer to assets or securities that have the potential to increase in price or value over the long term. They generate returns primarily through the appreciation of the asset’s price and are often associated with companies or sectors poised for expansion or increased income, outperforming the broader market. Investors in growth assets often adopt a longer-term perspective, emphasising factors such as innovation, market expansion and effective management.

  • Investment growth is typically measured by the increase in the value of an investment over a specific period of time. It’s expressed as a percentage that reflects the appreciation of the investment’s value. Generally, a higher percentage of return indicates better growth, however what is considered to be “good” can vary based on individual financial goals, risk tolerance and the performance benchmarks of comparable investments. A “good” investment growth can be said to align with the investor’s objectives, outperforming the rate of inflation to preserve and increase the real value of the investment.

  • Growth investing is a strategy where investors look for companies with strong potential for above-average earnings growth. The primary focus is on businesses that are expected to expand rapidly and generate higher than average revenue and profit growth. In contrast, with value investing investors look for stocks that are undervalued or trading below their intrinsic value. The goal here is to identify opportunities where the market has underestimated a company’s true worth, providing potential for future appreciation.

  • The choice between investing for growth or income depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance and investment timeline. If you are aiming for long-term wealth accumulation and are willing to tolerate some risk, a growth-oriented approach may be suitable. Conversely, if you require regular payouts and a more stable income stream, an income-focused strategy may be preferable. Adopting a diversified approach and balancing growth and income objectives to meet specific objectives is always sensible, as is aligning your investment strategy with your individual financial circumstances and goals.
