mengupayakan efisiensi


Explanation:
to harvest the low-hanging fruits of investment: mengupayakan efisiensi investasi

Efficiency is frequently described as the “low-hanging fruit” for cutting greenhouse gas emissions and reducing fossil fuel consumption. Energy efficiency improvements can meet a substantial portion of new U.S. energy demand and are relatively easy, cheap, and within the scope of current technology.

mendapatkan hasil secara mudah


Explanation:
jawaban saya tentunya mirip dengan teman yang lain, tapi saya akan mencoba memberi alternatif;

low-hanging fruit :
Targets or goals which are easily achievable and which do not require a lot of effort.

Secara literal harvest adalah panen. Inti dari investasi sebenarnya adalah juga menanam untuk bisa dipanen pada periode tertentu.

Jadi saya usulkan dipadankan mendapatkan hasil secara mudah

memetik hasil (dari) invenstasi dengan keuntungan kecil/ringan


Explanation:
low hanging - low - cheap

hight/low investment but low profit

kecil besar relatif tergantung presentase terhadap seberapa besar investasinya

maksudnya investasi yang tidak muluk2 dan aman misalnya deposito .. mungkin cocok dengan konteksnya Pak
