Important information - investing for longer increases the likelihood of positive returns. Over a period of five years or more, investments usually give you a higher return compared to cash savings. But investments can go down as well as up in value, so you could get back less than you put in. This isn't personal advice. If you’re not sure what's right for you, ask for advice.

Alternative asset fund manager Bridgepoint on Wednesday said it would buy Energy Capital Partners for an upfront consideration of 835 million pounds ($1.05 billion) including debt to strengthen its foothold in mid-market private assets investing.
