Note
Only the countable uses of the singular take this plural. Capital placed in stocks, bonds or property yields investments, but the activity itself, investment as a general pursuit, stays uncountable. Rarer countable meanings pluralize too: the encirclements of a besieging army, the silica-and-plaster molds a bronze caster builds around a wax pattern, and, long obsolete, vestments.
