investor
A person who buys things like shares to hold them for a long time, hoping they grow in value.
The fuller meaning
Someone who buys assets mainly for long-term returns, as opposed to a short-term trader, though the lessons often use the word for anyone buying shares. Investors hold shares through custody arrangements such as India's demat accounts, and regulators exist to protect them.
