investor
Seeks financial returns
An investor is a person or entity that commits money to something with the expectation of financial return.
Investors buy stocks, bonds, real estate, or stakes in businesses, hoping the value will increase or generate income: Early investors in the company became millionaires.
The term sometimes carries connotations of wealth or sophistication that distinguish investors from ordinary savers.
