How to invest in shares?


What’s so good about shares?

Shares are easy to understand. Shares can provide better returns over the long-term.
As a long term investment,shares have the potential to provide better returns than any other major investment. You also can diversify your investment that can reduce the volatility of your share portfolio by investing in a number of quality companies, rather than two or three only. This is called diversification.
Diversification is spreading your money. If you’re the kind of investor who likes a good night’s sleep as well as strong returns, diversification is a must. Investors have been able to reduce the overall volatility of their portfolio and increase returns by investing in a diversified mix of shares.

Shares are a long term investment:Investors who have made money from shares tend to view share investment as a get rich slow scheme.

Tax:
Companies have already paid tax on their profits, tax credits known as franking credits may be attached to the dividends that a company pays you. These credits can be used to offset tax payable by you on other income.

Shares are liquid
If you invest directly in shares and need to access your money in a hurry, it's relatively simple to sell your shares. In fact, you can normally buy and sell the same shares many times in one day. It’s easy to sell any indirect investment in shares by redeeming (i.e. selling) units in a managed fund investment. Compare this with owning property - you’d be doing well to buy and sell a property in a month.
With shares, it’s also easy to buy or sell a part of your portfolio; whereas with a property, you can’t sell just the bathroom or the kitchen.
