Unique Investment Options

Are you looking for something worthwhile to do with your money? Chances are that you get all kinds of offers and pitches each day, but don’t listen to all of that. Think about what you really want to do with your money, and choose something that you’re passionate about and that will be beneficial for you not just now, but in the long run as well. For options that do all of these things and that are also fun and unique, consider the following ideas.

Invest In…Yourself!

As a person, you have earning potential. The good news is that your earning potential can always go up, especially if you invest in yourself. By making choices that are going to make you more employable and that are going to earn you higher pay, you can make a big difference in your life. There are many ways to invest in yourself, depending on what you do and what your goals are, but here are some ideas that could work:

·         Get an advanced degree
·         Get a career certification of some kind
·         Attend trainings, seminars, conferences, or classes that will improve your skills and abilities
·         Hire a career coach, a personal assistant, a financial advisor, or other professionals who can help you to improve yourself

Be a Silent Partner

In addition to investing in yourself- which you should do regardless of what other investment avenues you choose- you may want to consider investing in a business you believe in. While you definitely

have the option of starting your own business, you can avoid the risks and stresses that go along with that and still get all of the benefits by choosing to become a silent partner for someone else’s business.

You can provide investment capital to the business as a silent partner, which will give you percentage ownership of the business and its income. So, you’ll make money as the business does, and, in the event that the business is ever sold, you’ll enjoy an equity payoff. Just make sure to choose a business that has real potential and that you could see sticking around for a few years at least.

Invest in…Hedge Funds

Finally, consider investing in hedge funds. While these funds once had a bad reputation for having high buy-in rates, things have changed in recent years. Now, more and more accredited investors are offering them as an alternative investment, and as such, they’re getting a lot more popular, accessible, and reliable. While hedge funds can pay off big, they can also be a big disappointment if you choose the wrong one, so have a finance professional help you select and invest in a good hedge fund.
