Equities
Investing in a company’s stock (also referred to as buying shares or equity) means you become a part-owner of that company and are entitled to a share of its assets and earnings—including dividends in some cases. As the value of the company goes up or down, so does the value of your equity.
Investing in equities is considered one of the best ways to generate long-term returns. While some stocks can be volatile in the near term, they typically provide greater returns over time compared to other asset classes.
