Which of the following statements about the ‘Asset Categories’ section of the lecture material are TRUE:
- ‘Income’ asset categories mainly pay income whereas ‘Growth’ asset categories don’t pay income and so the returns are only from capital gains.
- When investing in ‘Growth’ assets, it is best to make sure that you have an investment time horizon of at least 5 years. This is because ‘Growth’ assets usually have higher risk than ‘Income’ assets. Investing over longer periods of time can help to manage that risk.
