When inflation rises, the money in a savings account buys less than it did before. To protect their purchasing power, many households look for investments that pay more than the rise in prices. Such investments, however, frequently carry higher risks. A fund that promises large returns may lose value quickly if markets fall. Financial advisers therefore suggest that people keep an emergency reserve in a safe and liquid place before they accept greater risk.
According to the text, an emergency reserve should be kept
- A)
in a safe and liquid place before accepting greater risk
- B)
in the riskiest fund available
- C)
only after large returns are obtained
- D)
in assets that lose value quickly
- E)
exclusively in foreign currency
