There are also companies which are ready to make investments on your behalf. Some of them ensure a minimum rate of returns, while others do not.

Middle-aged investors are usually interested in a mix of investments giving growth and income. Aging investors are interested in a mix of investments that put less emphasis of growth and more on return and security.
