Investieren bedeutet die Ausgabe von (viel) Geld zum Erwerb von Wirtschaftsgütern. Dabei denkt man vorrangig an Sachinvestitionen (wie Fahrzeuge, Gebäude, Maschinen), aber auch immaterielle Investitionen (Fortbildung, Patente) oder Finanzanlagen (z. B. Aktien, Anleihen) zählen dazu. Bei der Beurteilung derartiger Investitionen kommt ihrer Vorteilhaftigkeit ein besonderes Gewicht zu, also der Beantwortung der Frage, ob die Investitionsausgaben letztlich durch Einnahmen aus den erworbenen Gütern zumindest gedeckt werden: Die Mieteinnahmen aus einem Gebäude, die Erlöse aus Produkten, die auf einer neu angeschafften Maschine hergestellt werden, oder die Dividende und der Veräußerungserlös von Aktien sind Beispiele für derartige Einnahmen.
Die Schwierigkeit bei Bestimmung dieser Vorteilhaftigkeit besteht nun darin, dass Ausgaben und Einnahmen zu sehr unterschiedlichen, oft weit in der Zukunft liegenden Terminen anfallen. Die Messung der Vorteilhaftigkeit zeitverschiedener Zahlungen unterschiedlicher Höhe besorgen (finanzmathematische) Investitionsrechnungen. Zwei prinzipiell verschiedenartige Ansätze kommen dabei zur Anwendung: Entweder wird ein 'Gewinn' aller Einnahmen und Ausgaben über die Zeit hinweg ermittelt; derartige 'Gewinne' heißen Vermögenswert, Kapitalwert, Endwert oder Annuität, je nachdem, auf welchen Zeitpunkt sich die betreffende Größe bezieht und welche weiteren Annahmen (beispielsweise hinsichtlich der Finanzierung der betreffenden Investition) getroffen werden.
Oder es wird die 'Rendite' des für die Investition eingesetzten Kapitals ermittelt, um diese mit alternativen Geldanlagen (z. B. bei einer Bank oder auf dem Kapitalmarkt) zu vergleichen.

The new paradigm for investing and building wealth in the twenty-first century. The Future for Investors reveals new strategies that take advantage of the dramatic changes and opportunities that will appear in world markets.
Jeremy Siegel, one of the world’s top investing experts, has taken a long, hard, and in-depth look at the market and the stocks that investors should acquire to build long-term wealth. His surprising finding is that the new technologies, expanding industries, and fast-growing countries that stockholders relentlessly seek in the market often lead to poor returns. In fact, growth itself can be an investment trap, luring investors into overpriced stocks and overly competitive industries.
The Future for Investors shatters conventional wisdom and provides a framework for picking stocks that will be long-term winners. While technological innovation spurs economic growth, it has not been kind to investors. Instead, companies that have marketed tried-and-true products for decades in slow-growth or even declining industries have superior returns to firms that develop “the bold and the new.” Industry sectors many regard as dinosaurs—railroads and oil companies, for example—have actually beat the market.
Professor Siegel presents these strategies within the context of the coming shift in global economic power and the demographic age wave that will sweep the United States, Europe, and Japan. Contrary to the popular belief that these economic and demographic trends doom investors to poor returns, Professor Siegel explains the True New Economy and how to take advantage of the coming surge in invention, discovery, and economic growth.
The faster the world changes, the more important it is for investors to heed the lessons of the past and find the tried-and-true companies that can help you beat the market and prosper in the years ahead.
