STOCK
A stock (equity) is a security that represents the ownership of a fraction of a corporation. This
entitles the owner of the stock to a proportion of the corporation's assets and profits equal to
how much stock they own. Units of stock are called "shares."
STOCK
Stocks are bought and sold predominantly on stock exchanges, though there can be private sales
as well, and are the foundation of many individual investors' portfolios.
These transactions have to conform to government regulations which are meant to protect
investors from fraudulent practices.
STOCK
Corporations issue (sell) stock to raise funds to operate their businesses.
The holder of stock (a shareholder) has now bought a piece of the corporation and, depending
on the type of shares held, may have a claim to a part of its assets and earnings. In other words,
a shareholder is now an owner of the issuing company.
Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the number of
outstanding shares. For example, if a company has 1,000 shares of stock outstanding and one
person owns 100 shares, that person would own and have claim to 10% of the company's assets
and earnings
BOND
A bond is a fixed income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower
(typically corporate or governmental).
Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states, and sovereign governments to finance
projects and operations.
The coupon rate is the rate of interest the bond issuer will pay on the face value of the bond,
expressed as a percentage. For example, a 5% coupon rate means that bondholders will receive
5% x $1000 face value = $50 every year.
Coupon dates are the dates on which the bond issuer will make interest payments. Payments can
be made in any interval, but the standard is semiannual payments.
The maturity date is the date on which the bond will mature and the bond issuer will pay the
bondholder the face value of the bond.
The issue price is the price at which the bond issuer originally sells the bonds.
Growth-Oriented Portfolio

Income-Oriented Portfolio

Return
The return on a portfolio is simply the weighted average of the individual assets’ returns in the
portfolio.
Risk
The standard deviation of a portfolio’s returns is a function of the portfolio’s individual assets’
weights, standard deviations, and correlations with all other assets
