Today, i learned several aspects on stocks. Alright, i am going to be a stock broker right now, a job that my parents used to do together. Let me start with stock funds or equity funds. This is a fund that we can invest in equities which is most commonly known as stocks. They are contrasted with bond funds and money funds which are mainly in stock with small amount of cash, as opposed to bonds, notes or other securities. A long-term growth through capital gains are essential with equity funds although we have to note that dividends play a pivotal role in terms of total return. There are also some specific equity funds that could only refer on some other aspect of the market or going to a certain level of risk.

Investing in equity funds mainly focus to the buying and holding of shares of stock on a stock market by individuals. As the value of stock rises they can also expect the funds in anticipation of profit from dividens and capital gain. This can also be a reference to individuals or company who wants acquire equity (ownership) participation in a private (unlisted) company or a startup (new created company or being created). If the investment is in fresh companies, it can be referred to as venture capital investment. The risk is obviously much more higher than an established one.

Mutual funds or other forms of pooled investment vehicle held private individuals equities which most of them have quoted prices that are commonly listed in magazines or newspapers. They are managed by prominent fund management firms. Individual investors will be allowed to gain the diversification of the funds and to hire the skill of the professional fund managers in control of the funds.

That’s it, i think it is enough for me to understand basic concept of equities. It’s not that i want to invest, just to add to my general “rusty” knowledge.
