A profitable investment is measured both by its gross return (interest rate, dividends, capital gains) and by its net profitability once taxes, inflation and fees are deducted. No investment is the most profitable in absolute terms: everything depends on the profile, horizon and risk tolerance of the investor. Investments with high return potential (stock market, private equity, real estate) generally involve more risk and a long time horizon, while risk-free investments (passbooks, euro funds) offer profitability limited by inflation. Diversifying between several financial investments remains the best strategy to optimize the return/risk combination over the long term and to make your savings grow.
