An asset is usually purchased, or equivalently a deposit is made in a bank, in hopes of getting a future return or interest from it.

Literally, the word means the action of putting something in to somewhere else perhaps originally related to a persons garment or vestment.

The difference in the use of the term investment between the economics field and the finance field is that economists refer to a real investment such as a machine or a house, while financial economists refer to a financial asset, such as money that is put into a bank or the market, which may then be used to buy a real asset.

The investment decision also known as capital budgeting is one of the fundamental decisions of business management: managers determine the assets that the business enterprise obtains; these assets may be physical e.g.

buildings or machinery, intangible e.g.

patents, software, goodwill, or financial see below.

Whatever the type of asset, the manager must assess whether the net present value of the investment to the enterprise is positive; the net present value is calculated using the enterprises marginal cost of capital.

Many of the books on investing, including some of the seminal texts were written by investment managers and or famous investors.
