As a result, you’ll ensure that you have cash when you need it, instead of squandering the money on a potentially risky investment. So, the most important thing investors should be looking for in a short-term investment is safety.</p> <h2>What is a short-term investment?</h2> <p>If you’re making a short-term investment, you’re often doing so because you need to have the money at a certain time. If you’re <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/banking/savings/how-to-save-for-a-house/">saving for a down payment on a house</a> or a wedding, for example, the money must be at the ready. Short-term investments are those you make for less than three years.</p> <p>If you have a longer <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/what-is-time-horizon/">time horizon</a> – at least three to five years (and even longer is better) – you can look at investments such as stocks. Stocks offer the potential for much higher returns. The stock market has historically risen an average of <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/what-is-sp-500/">10 percent annually over long periods</a> – but it has proven to be quite volatile. So the longer time horizon gives you the ability to ride out the ups and downs of the stock market.</p></div> <div id="top-funnel-content-top"class="myFinance-widget"></div> </div> <div id="safe-but-lower-yield" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>Short-term investments: Safe but lower yield</h2> <p>The safety of short-term investments comes at a cost. You likely won’t be able to earn as much in a short-term investment as you would in a long-term investment. If you invest for the short term, you’ll be limited to certain types of investments and shouldn’t buy riskier assets such as stocks and stock funds. (But if you can invest for the long term, <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/how-to-buy-stocks/">here’s how to buy stocks</a>.)</p> <p>Short-term investments do have a couple of advantages, however. They’re often highly liquid, so you can get your money whenever you need it. Also, they tend to be <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/low-risk-investments/">lower risk investments</a> than long-term investments, so you may have limited downside or even none at all.</p></div> <div class="bankrate-insight"> <div class="border-l-4 border-blue bg-white p-8 h-full display-flex flex-direction-column sm:flex-direction-row box-shadow-1 rounded-md"> <div class="Icon flex-shrink-0 Icon--md mb-6 mx-auto sm:mr-8"> <svg class="Icon-glyph" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" focusable="false"><title>Lightbulb Icon</title><path d="M10.725 18.804c.22 2.389 1.25 4.196 2.486 4.196 1.243 0 2.277-1.825 2.49-4.23a.66.66 0 0 0 .08-.318c0-.667.458-1.22 1.042-1.918l.013-.015c.787-.949 1.764-2.125 1.764-4.025C18.6 9.844 16.429 7 13.2 7c-3.23 0-5.4 2.837-5.4 5.486 0 1.918.979 3.105 1.768 4.056l.028.033c.563.683 1.007 1.221 1.022 1.885.003.13.042.247.107.344Z" fill="transparent" class="icon-offset"/><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M12 4.386a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7V1.7c0-.385.311-.7.692-.7.38 0 .692.315.692.7v1.986c0 .385-.312.7-.692.7Zm-5.557 2.32h.005-.01.005Zm.489-.202a.674.674 0 0 1-.489.202.728.728 0 0 1-.488-.202l-1.384-1.4a.708.708 0 0 1 0-.988.689.689 0 0 1 .977 0l1.384 1.4a.708.708 0 0 1 0 .988Zm6.529 11.454c0 .385.311.7.692.7v.009c.38 0 .692-.315.692-.7 0-.718.501-1.313 1.141-2.065l.014-.016c.863-1.021 1.932-2.287 1.932-4.333 0-2.852-2.378-5.915-5.916-5.915-3.537 0-5.916 3.054-5.916 5.906 0 2.065 1.073 3.343 1.938 4.367l.03.036c.617.735 1.103 1.314 1.12 2.029.009.385.32.673.71.682.38-.009.674-.332.674-.717-.026-1.225-.761-2.1-1.479-2.95-.83-.98-1.609-1.907-1.609-3.455 0-2.18 1.825-4.507 4.532-4.507 2.708 0 4.533 2.337 4.533 4.515 0 1.526-.807 2.484-1.587 3.412l-.022.027-.008.01c-.724.854-1.471 1.736-1.471 2.965Zm-.008-4.051-.744.752v2.774c0 .385-.312.7-.692.7a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7v-2.774l-.796-.805a.708.708 0 0 1 0-.988.688.688 0 0 1 .978 0l.51.516.458-.464a.688.688 0 0 1 .978 0 .708.708 0 0 1 0 .989ZM2.192 12.322h1.955c.38 0 .692-.314.692-.7 0-.384-.312-.7-.692-.7H2.192a.698.698 0 0 0-.692.7c0 .386.311.7.692.7Zm11.84 8.252h-3.918a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7c0-.385.311-.7.692-.7h3.918c.38 0 .692.315.692.7 0 .385-.312.7-.692.7Zm-3 1.986h1.963c.38 0 .692-.315.692-.7 0-.385-.312-.7-.692-.7H11.03a.698.698 0 0 0-.692.7c0 .385.312.7.692.7Zm10.776-10.237h-1.955a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7c0-.385.312-.7.692-.7h1.955c.38 0 .692.315.692.7 0 .385-.311.7-.692.7Zm-4.259-5.617a.33.33 0 0 0 .003 0h-.008.005Zm-.49-.202c.138.13.31.2.49.202a.674.674 0 0 0 .488-.202l1.384-1.4a.708.708 0 0 0 0-.988.689.689 0 0 0-.978 0l-1.384 1.4a.708.708 0 0 0 0 .988Z" class="icon-base"/></svg></div> <div class="flex-grow"> <h3 class="mt-0 mb-4 max-w text-center sm:text-left"> Need an advisor? </h3> <div class="type-body-one text-slate text-center sm:text-left mb-0-last-child"> <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <p>Need expert guidance when it comes to managing your investments or planning for retirement?</p> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/financial-advisors/financial-advisor-matching/?utm_source=BRarticle">Bankrate’s AdvisorMatch</a> can connect you to a CFP® professional to help you achieve your financial goals.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="best-list" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>Overview: Best short-term investments in November 2024</h2></div> <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h3 id="FNILX">1.

The money will be there when you need it, and is often protected by FDIC insurance or a government guarantee.</li> <li><strong>Liquidity: </strong>A good short-term investment usually offers high liquidity, meaning that you can access the cash invested in it quickly. In the case of certain CDs, you’ll know when the money becomes available, and you can always redeem the CD, though it will often come with a penalty, unless you opt for a no-penalty CD.</li> <li><strong>Low transaction costs: </strong>A good short-term investment doesn’t cost a lot of money to get into or out of, unlike a house, for example. That’s especially important when yields on short-term investments are low.</li> </ul> <p>These features mean that your money will not be at risk and will be accessible when you need to use it, which is one of the major reasons to have a short-term investment. In contrast, you can earn a higher return on long-term investments but must endure more short-term volatility. If you need that money, though, you might have to sell a long-term investment at a loss to access it fully.</p></div> </div> <div id="bottom-line" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>Tips for investing money for five years or less</h2> <p>If you’re investing money for five years or less, you should have a different process than if you were investing with a time horizon of decades. Instead, you need to approach short-term investing with the following tips:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Set your expectations.</strong> Short-term investments will have lower potential returns than long-term investments, so it’s important to set your expectations appropriately.</li> <li><strong>Focus on safety.</strong> In general, if you’re investing for the short term, you should focus on safety rather than return. <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/banking/faq-bank-safety-and-deposit-insurance/">Your money should be there when you need it</a>.</li> <li><strong>A little extra return may not be worth the extra risk.</strong> With short-term investments typically offering low returns, it can be easy to try to get a little extra return at the expense of a lot more risk. But focus on why you’re investing for the short term.</li> <li><strong>Pick the investment based on your needs.</strong> You might be able to <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/current-cd-interest-rates/">earn a little extra on that CD</a>, but what if you need to access the money before it matures? Calibrate your investment type to your needs.</li> <li><strong>Not all short-term investments are equal.</strong> Bank products are backed by the FDIC, so you won’t lose any principal as long as you <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/banking/failure-fdic-insurance-limits/">stay within the FDIC’s limits</a>. But market-based products, even safe ones like short-term bond funds, could decline over short periods. Understand the risks of your investments.<br />Short-term investments are usually pretty safe, especially relative to longer-term investments such as stocks or stock funds. But be sure you understand what you’re investing in.</li> </ul> <p class="text-sm text-slate text-gray-700"><em>Editorial Disclaimer: All investors are advised to conduct their own independent research into investment strategies before making an investment decision.
