In macro-economics and national accounts: expenditure on new capital goods
(goods that are not consumed but instead used in future production). Such investment is
the source of new employment and economic growth.
In finance: investment refers to the purchase or ownership of a financial asset with the
expectation of a future return either as income (such as dividends), or as capital gain
(such as a rise in the value of the stock).
Legal definitions of investment: found in laws and legal agreements, focus on the
issue of property, notwithstanding the productive or financial nature of the investment,
unless specific limitations are made.
