Alternativas de inversión no tradicionales en Colombia

Abstract

Taking into account the current economic moment Colombia is going through, its stable inflation rates, its attractive prospect towards foreign investment, its decreasing unemployment levels and its stability regarding growth politics; it is able to justify the development shown by local capital market according to the amounts invested by means of different alternatives. In order to feed the growing demand for saving and capital renting products, banks and financial institutions have developed along their history several financial instruments that have became traditional among Colombian population. Most of them focus their appeal on safety and moderated risk levels, even though there exist alternatives for more visionary investors as well. The tendency to prefer safety before profit clearly stands out.
