What's the difference between funds and investment?

My friend is asking me to lend him a huge amount of money. I have been thinking about how best to invest it and now someone else wants to use it? What would convince you to hand over the $50 grand to your friend? They often get frustrated with the process of preparing and writing a business case to justify expenditure on a particular activity, yet we wouldn’t hesitate to ask. In line with this, I want to know if it would be better to invest my money or use it forning.

    Funding is when the person with the idea requires money to get their idea moving while Investment is when the person with the money needs to decide if the idea is the best thing to spend it on, relative to any other alternatives.When considered rationally these 2 concepts will live harmoniously together.

If you are like me an HSBC Premier client and also a frequent traveller that can maximize the number of priority pass visits, limo and meet-and-assist services as well as your supplementary cardholders too, then this is the card for you. The reduced general mile earn rate is worth the trade-off for the unlimited priority pass memberships, as well as the high number of limo and meet-and-assist services that you can use.
