Answer:

Buying a franchise: For me, this is the riskiest investment, because the success of the business depends on the product or service it sells. If there is no demand for the product or service, the business will go under. This investment is also highly illiquid—in addition, finding someone willing to buy a business is difficult.

Mutual fund: This is the least risky of the three investment options. It is highly liquid compared to buying a franchise or real estate. Mutual fund investors can easily cash in their investments by selling the units they hold in a fund at the current market price.

Real estate: Real estate is a risky investment. First, property prices can fall in a depressed housing market. Second, real estate properties are illiquid. They can’t be sold quickly for a good price, especially in times of recession in the housing market or in the overall economy.

A mutual fund is the best of the three investment options for me, for the following reasons:

I can invest small amounts of money regularly and get higher returns on the investment than I would from a savings account. Also, this is a highly liquid investment. In case of a financial emergency, I can quickly sell my mutual fund units at their current market price.

Real estate is currently both a risky and illiquid investment, because of poor market conditions.

Buying a franchise is not a good option for me, because I don’t plan to go into business. In any case, I don’t have the money to make this investment.
