The difference between saving and investing

Are you wondering about the best way to grow and protect your money?

Saving

Savings have the advantage of being dependable, predictable and easy to access. If you know you'll need a set amount of money in the next 12 months, for example, then regularly depositing in a savings account may be the best solution. Savings will grow over time as more money is put away and interest accrues on your balance.

Investing

If you are saving for a longer-term goal, typically five years or more, investing your money has the potential to grow your money and help protect your buying power from the effects of inflation.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the full amount you invest. Eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply.
