Stocks

Stocks are securities that give you ownership in a corporation, offering greater potential return when a company does well through capital appreciation and dividend payments, but greater potential risk as well. Stocks offer a wide variety of investment options, including common and preferred shares.

 

Bonds

Companies and governments issue bonds to the public to raise capital to fund their projects with a set repayment date. Bonds may offer lower risk than stocks, but usually a lower return as well.
