Securities
Securities are investment that allow you to own things without physically holding onto them
Examples: stocks and bonds

Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and certificate of deposits
marketable securities (easily bought and sold in a public market)
investments or debts
Government bonds and private company shares
non-marketable securities (difficult to buy and sell)
investments and debts

Marketable = things that can be sold
Non-marketable = things that can’t easily be sold

“Securities” in the name may be a bit misleading
Securities are not secured with collateral (assets that a borrower offers a lender to secure a loan)

Why invest in securities?
To build a healthy portfolio it is important to have a mix of both types of securities
Two categories of marketable securities
Equity provides partial ownership in an investment
Debt securities represent an obligation for repayment
