Equities
Equities, or stocks, are investments in a company or organization that provide a share of ownership. This means that when the company or organization does well, shareholders benefit from the profits earned.
Fixed Income
Fixed income investments are securities that provide a steady stream of income for the investor. These investments are generally considered to be lower risk investments than equities, but also offer lower returns.
Commodities
Commodities are physical goods such as gold, oil, or wheat that can be traded on the open market. Investing in commodities can be a way to diversify a portfolio, as the prices of commodities tend to move independently of stock and bond prices.
Real Estate
Real estate investments can take many forms, including purchasing property or investing in a real estate investment trust (REIT). Real estate investments have the potential to generate income in the form of rent and appreciation, but they also come with the risk of market fluctuations and tenant turnover.
