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.
