What is the Secret of the Buffalo

The mighty buffalo is deliberate and steady, waiting all day for the hot African sun to pass. It steadily grows and protects its herd, knowing its strength and future are in its numbers. Our lesson is that it's important to leave your investment for a long period of time - so it can grow.
What's in it for you?
  • You'll learn to understand why you have to invest to increase your assets.
  • Understanding the power of compound interest.
  • Find out how to list and explain the four financial options to save money.
  • Know your rights when dealing with investment brokers and products.

Your job is to choose the investments that suit you, and to stick to them. If you leave your investment for a long period of time, the investment not only grows each year, but grows exponentially. This means that you not only earn interest on your initial investment, but that the interest gets added each month or year to the initial amount, and you earn interest on that interest as well.
