How it's used
Refers specifically to individuals or entities putting capital into ventures with the expectation of profit. While it sounds formal, it is frequently heard in news reports and casual financial discussions among Hong Kongers. It is distinct from 炒家, which implies a more speculative or short term approach to trading rather than a long term investment strategy.
