The investment horizon is the length of time for which an investor plans to hold an investment.
One of the 'factors of production' in economics, the others classically being land, capital and enterprise.


Depending on their different investment horizons, different investors may regard the same investment asset as having different levels of risk in the context of their differing investment strategies.
In this context, 'labour' is defined as those people who are available to work in an economy, and who provide their skill, knowledge, physical and mental resources.
