Some types of investments are more growth-oriented and don’t pay much, if any, current income. A growth investment is one that has good potential to appreciate (increase) in value in the years and decades ahead.

Investments that are more growth-oriented, such as real estate or stocks (investments in companies), allow you to share in the success of a specific company or local economy in general. Some stocks offer dividends as well as the opportunity to participate in the appreciation of stock prices. Although the yield on a good stock from its dividend typically is well below the interest rate paid on a decent corporate bond, some stocks do offer reasonable dividend yields.
