longest-term
Maximum duration possible
Longest-term describes the greatest duration among options being compared.
A longest-term investment extends further than alternatives; the longest-term effects of a policy outlast its immediate impacts.
The word appears most often in financial and planning contexts: The longest-term bonds mature in thirty years.
