The English term investment refers often to what I want to call "outvestment" or rentier extraction by betting on high returns: in mainstream English portfolio investment, in Dutch "beleggen". To distinguish from (foreign) direct investment ("investeren" in Dutch) for productive/economic activities

Simple investment products are NOT going to start-ups, and mostly not to (small) companies, but to asset managers who get profitable fees from investors. These asset managers vote at company AGMs for annual billions of dividends & share buy-backs = money not going to innovation and decarbonisation.
