While making investment professionals have long been aware of the risk importance to growth of long-term investment but individuals or ordinary investors may not sound aware.

They are not aware of the basic terms that they need to know in order to choose a reliable company that will give them a high return of investment. Some are also not aware of the financial options available to them. Without this knowledge, investors fail to take advantage of potentially beneficial investment opportunities. In many cases, they become victims of scams and fraud cases. The practice of investment counselling has been used for almost a century.
