The principles behind safe high yield investments is no different than any investment, you want to maximize the return with minimum risk. The method in which these principles are used all depends on the risk the investor is willing to take. With high yield investments there is little room for error in both the asset and the initial price.
Safe high yield investments demand that a conscious decision be made which balances the potential reward with the potential risk. There are investments which can be considered risk-free however the returns are generally low and cannot actually fit into the high yield category. These types of low yield, negligible risk investments are government bonds and savings which are covered by a government guarantee which will provide protection in the unlikely event the bank fails.
There are two things to consider when doing a risk analysis of the potential high yield investment; one, the yield is not cast in stone and perhaps will not be high as anticipated and two, the investment may lose money. The investor must be in a position to decide based on how much money he is willing to put at risk and whether the potential return is a necessity or not.
There are no two investments alike but there are a few guiding principles that can help in determining if the investment has the potential of providing safe high yield investment returns. Normally, high yield investments are looking to make profits fast; get in and get out. The investment will not be diversified and can be vulnerable to financial shocks. The investor has to choose the risk and reward that he is willing to settle for and then the investment must be identified. The usual investment candidate will have the possibility of returning a high yield for the class of asset or a manageable risk element, preferably both.
Rarely will safe high yield investments be those that seem just too good to be true. Investments that are on offer that promise returns much higher than the honest return of similar investments may very well be a scam, what is called a Ponzi Scheme. In this scam, the early investor may make good money but the late investor will fail.
