Buys for returns
Invests is the present-tense form of invest, meaning to put money into something with the expectation of future returns: She invests heavily in tech stocks.
Beyond finance, to invest is to devote time or effort: He invests hours in his garden.
To invest someone with authority or a title is to formally confer it upon them.
