AI summary

Investing is using money to buy an asset that will gain value, aiming to maximise return while minimising risk. Common asset classes include stocks, bonds, cash, and property, each with a different risk profile.

Property is generally considered a medium-risk investment. A key principle for any investment is that time in the market is better than timing the market. This means it's often better to invest as soon as you are able, rather than waiting for the 'perfect' moment to buy.
