trying to keep it simpler than Z...
"to cast" covers more senses: to cast a stone, to cast one's eyes, to cast a ballot
"to invest" would only appear in 投资

"to seek refuge" (or cast one's lot with)
that last sense is necessary to understand some common uses of 投
a)弃暗投明
b)一个小头人率领手下十多家人背叛了我们,投到汪波土司那边去了

========================================================
Z: 投靠,前去依靠别人生活。古时指投奔权贵,求得托身。多指卖身为奴 [go and seek refuge with sb.]。如:投亲(投靠亲戚);投充(投靠权势人家充当奴仆以得到庇护);投托(投靠托身);投化(投顺归化);投附(投顺归附)

N: 动 投靠;参加
Diff:
- 投 投 [tou2] /to throw/to send/to invest/
+ 投 投 [tou2] /to cast/to send/to throw oneself (into the river etc)/to seek refuge/to place oneself into the hands of/
