   An investor is an individual, company, or entity that allocates capital with the expectation of receiving a return on investment (ROI). This return can come in the form of profit, interest, income, or appreciation in value. Investors may invest in different types of assets, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, startups, or other businesses.
