Investing is crucial for achieving financial security and reaching your life goals.
Investing is a great way to build wealth over time.
However, there are a few challenges with investing;
Despite the challenges, you can succeed with investing, if you follow the right approach and choose the best investment options in line with your financial goals and risk appetite.
With inflation at its peak, exposing your idle savings to inflationary risks makes no sense.
There is, of course, a downside to ignoring long-term investments now.
If you choose to wait for the market to provide more clarity, you’ll be looking at missed opportunities and a slowdown in your wealth-building process.
The obvious way to go, therefore, is to try and make the most of the existing situation.

Given that markets are currently shifting from growth to value and cyclical stocks, diversification has become more important than ever. Here are some long-term investment ideas for building wealth that warrant your attention in 2021.
Dividend stocks, as the name implies, offer regular payouts in the form of dividends. Value stocks are viewed as underpriced after carrying out some type of fundamental analysis.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) give you easy means to diversify and seek relatively higher returns while lowering your overall risk. Given capital appreciation and their ability to generate dividends, you may use them as effective counterbalances to shares and bonds.
With continued economic recovery, it is safe to say that the REIT sector will see a steady inflow of capital in 2021 and 2022
Commodity prices have shown growth across different sectors over the last year. At the moment, they seem well-placed for any reflationary momentum. Gold, crude oil, base metals, and minerals make for some exciting alternatives.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, meeting the Paris Agreement's objectives will require a cumulative investment of $27 trillion by 2050. Given the speed at which this sector is growing, ignoring it comes at your peril. However, it would be best if you hedged your bets with financially clean solid energy companies.
Looking at emerging markets gives you the ability to make the most of comparative bargains. For example, China Mobile has provided better value than Verizon Communications in recent times. While China Mobile's current dividend yield stands at around 7%, Verizon's current dividend yield is about 4%. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index represents 27 countries, including China, Brazil, India, Greece, and Egypt.
Consider investing 1% of your portfolio in cryptocurrencies. However, do not get carried away and limit your crypto investments to a maximum of 2% to 3% of your portfolio.
