Equity Investments

Equity investments involve purchasing shares of a company, giving you ownership in that business. When you invest in equities, you can benefit from the company's growth through increases in share prices and dividends—payments made to shareholders. While equities can offer higher returns than other investments like bonds, they also come with greater risks, as share prices can fluctuate based on company performance and market conditions. In portfolio management, balancing equity investments with other asset types helps manage risk while aiming for overall investment growth.
