Module 7: Investing, the Stock Exchange and Building Wealth

In Module 4 you learned that saving is very safe, but that inflation and taxes slowly erode the value of your money over the long term. Anyone who really wants to build wealth for later usually cannot avoid investing. The entire Dutch pension system revolves around this principle. In this module you peel back the world of investing: from how the stock exchange works and the most important building blocks (shares, bonds and funds) to the golden rule of risk versus return and the strict European MiFID II legislation that protects you as a consumer.
