What are stocks, bonds and mutual funds?

# data[].attributes.body
Let's start with stocks. When an investor purchases a stock, they’ll own a piece of that company. If the company is doing well, the investor will likely see the value of their shares rise. If the company is underperforming, the value of shares will likely begin to decline. If that is the case, the investor could possibly lose much of what they invested into the company.

A bond is effectively a loan. It is often issued by companies or the government and promises to repay the money that was initially invested with interest over a certain amount of time.

Mutual funds are funded by many investors. They trade in a variety of holdings. A difference between mutual funds and stocks is that when you invest in a mutual fund, you do not get to own the shares of the stocks invested, you’ll only own a piece of it.

I chose this website because it shares useful views about stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

What are Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds?

Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are well-known and powerful components of a diversified portfolio. To achieve desired returns to accomplish goals, it is extremely important to make sure there are different types of investments in a portfolio.

What is a Stock?

What is a Bond?

Bonds are a type of investment designed to aid governments and corporations to raise money. It can be viewed as a type of loan. There is no stock ownership and dividends, but investors who purchase bonds do receive payment in the form of interest.

For example, Company A needs to raise $2 million for a certain project. It decides to offer a 3-year bond to investors to raise the money. The investor will then purchase the bond at the issue price, and Company A will pay the investor interest on the money paid for the bond. Once the bond matures, the company will pay the face value of the bond back to the investor.

Therefore, bonds are fixed-income assets, unlike stocks. The percentage of interest is fixed in advance. Bonds are rated by credit rating agencies such as Moody's and Standard and Poor to help investors.

There are broadly two types of bonds, government bonds and corporate bonds. When the government is in need of money, they can only issue bonds. Businesses issue bonds instead of seeking a loan or overdraft from the bank as interest rates are cheaper on bonds and the bond market offers better terms.

Stock vs. Bonds

Owning a stock offers more potential for returns, but bonds come with much less downside volatility. Bond investments play a key role in balancing and reducing the short-term volatility associated with stocks.

Mutual Funds

Stocks and bonds are characterized by asset classes. On the other hand, mutual funds are pooled investment vehicles. In a mutual fund, money collected from various investors is taken together to buy a large variety of securities. A mutual fund gives an investor instant diversification.

Mutual funds are not the same as stocks. When you invest in a mutual fund, you do not own shares of the stock invested in but own a piece of the fund. Furthermore, mutual funds are usually managed by fund managers in financial corporations. Once an investor purchases a fund, there is no control over what goes in or out of the fund. Therefore, there is no investment in a particular stock or bond but a combination of various assets. There is also a fee or commission to be paid.

Key Takeaways

Investors do not decide between stocks and bonds but decide on the proportion of the two in their portfolio. As stocks and bonds come with their own pros and cons, an investor will decide on the proportion according to the desired goals and risk tolerance.

There is no single investment channel that is best for any investor. Investments are usually based on four criteria, namely age, income generation, length of time until the money is required, and risk tolerance.

Is investing in the stock market a risk? Tips to reduce the risks?

So Investing in share market is really a great idea since you can gain so much profit. Now the question arises how do we get profit out of stock market?

Investing involves risk. Over the long-term, assuming a fairly efficient market, investors will be compensated for taking risk.

However, as the chart (left side) shows, you can also lose an awful lot of money or basically stay flat for long periods of time. Let's start with some basic understanding that when we start driving a car first we get understand the functioning, then features, options then only we start learning the driving. But what if take your car directly on highway.

These are the major difference between real investors and gamblers. Gamblers invest money without knowing the entire functioning and without research. They also have a myth that stock market can double the money within weeks or even in days.

There are some basic guidelines you need to follow before coming into the market. First you need to understand how the things work in stock market. Actually it is a game and you must need to know the rules and must follow the same. If you want to play with out knowing the rules then your chances of winning will be very less or I can say its ZERO. But if you know the rules and play by the rules then winning percentage will be high and here experience is also matters like in the game of cricket. You can't win all the games but if are a good learner then you must understand the power of education and experience. Some of the tips are as below to reduce the risk, We can't remove the risk but we can reduce it by using the following guidelines.

1. Analyze you house hold expenses and try to reduce them as much as you can.

2. Keep emergency funds for at least 6 months. Let say you have fixed expenses of 30,000 per month then you must have 1,80,000 rupees in your savings account for any emergency that must not be touch in any situation.

3. Don't buy anything that you don't need.

4. Start reading the charts and history of the big companies, scams happened in the last two decades, business models, annual reports, quarter results, business future, company management etc to ensure that company will grow and business model is sustainable.

5. Read books on investing.

6. While learning don't be greedy and don't jump into the market based on some sentimental effects. Learn and analyze the market at least for 6 months.

7. Don't try to earn money over the night.

8. Don't put all the money in a single company diversify it between the companies and different industries.

9. Don't bet on the companies if you are not able to understand their business model, growth and future.

10. Keep reading and investing in good companies at the right time.

Peter Lynch (born January 19, 1944) is an American investor, mutual fund manager, and philanthropist.
