Investing in a company with only 5 percent interest rate will take you a lot of years to earn. Let`s say a company has a five percent interest rate and it is not compounded interest. You will get 2340 for about 6 years which is 1800 times .05 which gives you 90 and times 6 will give you 2340 for 6 years.

If you have won 10,000 worth from lottery, then I`d say you are very lucky. It may seem kind of small as compared if you could have won a million but of course, it is still considered lucky to have a 10,000 in an instant. As for where to put your winnings, your broker may have suggested for you to invest half of it in gold but of course, you should be aware that at the moment the price of gold has declined. Should you have invested half of it 6 months ago, then you could have earned roughly around 13% already. But of course, it is still your choice if you are going to put half of your winnings in it. Perhaps, you could place only a portion in gold then put the rest in mutual funds as well as in savings. At least the most important is that you are diversifying your money.

Actually it depends on what kind of mutual funds you`re going to invest in. Here in the Philippines, we have fixed income fund, equity fund, balanced fund, and money market fund. For example, you choose to invest in a fixed income fund; you should know the annual interest of the said fund by a certain asset management company that you will invest in. Lets say it is 10% per annum and the interest you get is compounded you will be getting around 119,076.32 for ten years time. This is only an example of what you will get if the company that you will invest in provides and generates a much higher interest.

If you have invested 10,000 dollars in a mutual fund, you would have roughly around 14,399.42 dollars in 5 years. That is if you have only placed an initial investment of 10,000 dollars and never placed an additional investment. On the other hand, if you have put in 10,000 dollars every year, you will have 62,092.10 dollars at the end of 5 years. This is just a conservative investment based on an 8% per annum. Of course, if you will put it in a more aggressive type of mutual fund, then you will earn more.

Be careful if you won the lottery, because that is when the financial sharks come calling, trying to get you to invest in this, that and the other thing. Stay safe with your investments and diversify. Buy a little stock in companies you know and believe in, buy some silver and gold bars, keep some in cash, buy some treasuries bill or GICs, buy some real estate.

Placing an investment every year may be a risk but of course, this is all part of making an investment - that there will be more returns. Personally, investing in mutual funds is a wise choice. You will just have to make a decision whether to invest your 50,000 in stocks or bonds . If you invest 50,000 on a yearly basis, your returns after 20 years will be around 984,833.28. This is based on an 8% interest per annum. As previously mentioned, it is already your choice if you will invest in stocks or in bonds. If you are a conservative type of investor, I would suggest that you opt to invest in a bond fund or even balanced fund. On the other hand, if you are an aggressive type of investor, then I believe that you should opt to invest in stocks or equity fund so that you will have higher returns.

In any case that you will invest 20,000 dollars yearly into mutual funds, you will earn by roughly around 182,467.35 dollars given an 8% interest per annum. With this, you are lucky enough if your chosen fund to invest in gives you at least this kind of consistent interest per annum or better if even higher. It will only differ and actually depend if you will choose whether to invest in a fixed income fund or in an equity fund. In addition, if you are going to invest in a fixed income fund, please bear in mind that the income is not that fast as compared if you are going to invest in an equity fund or basically in stocks. This is mainly because equity fund is more volatile than the fixed income fund. That`s why if you are a risk-taker, usually you will opt to invest in stocks or equity funds but if you are a conservative investor, you will do the opposite. Moreover, if you are going to be on the safe side but also want to try out to take a risk then I would suggest that you divide your 20,000 dollars then invest in both equity and fixed income funds.
