2. Having your money work for you
If you keep your money in your back pocket instead of investing it, your money doesn't work for you and you will never have more money than what you save.

What a publicly listed companies?
The site investopedia defines ‘Public Company’ as;
“A company that has issued securities through an initial public offering (IPO) and is traded on at least one stock exchange or in the over the counter market. Although a small percentage of shares may be initially "floated" to the public, the act of becoming a public company allows the market to determine the value of the entire company through daily trading”
