How to Invest Correctly and Safely?

[Suba]

Investing is a fundamental factor that needs to be carefully considered and planned when managing personal finances. While keeping money in a bank is considered safer, it is less productive than other investment options.

Investing, however, cannot be done speculatively or haphazardly. Investors must learn several basic concepts, especially the steps and procedures for investing correctly and safely, as follows:

1. Determine your goals first, as a basis for what you want to achieve, whether capital growth, passive income, retirement funds, etc.
2. Choose the right investment instrument that aligns with your personal risk profile, whether blue-chip stocks, growth stocks, or bonds, etc.
3. Determine your investment horizon, whether short-term, medium-term, or long-term. The horizon also needs to be adjusted to the investment instrument you choose.
4. Next, it's your turn.
