FAQ

Why are marketable securities important?

The main purpose of an investment company is to provide investors with income from investments. It does so by investing its assets across a variety of financial instruments including stocks, bonds, and securities. These securities offer investors attractive characteristics. These securities may be considered safe as they are backed fully by the faith and credit of their issuer. They pay dividends, interest or both and offer growth potential and/or tax advantages.

The most important characteristic of any security is whether it is considered to be "marketable." This refers to the ease with which the security is traded on the stock market. It is not possible to buy or sell securities that are not marketable. You must obtain them through a broker who charges you a commission.

Marketable securities include corporate bonds and government bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks, convertible debts, unit trusts and real estate investment trusts. Money market funds and exchange-traded money are also available.

Investment companies invest in these securities because they believe they will generate higher profits than if they invested in more risky securities like equities (shares).

What are the benefits to owning stocks

Stocks are more volatile that bonds. The stock market will suffer if a company goes bust.

However, share prices will rise if a company is growing.

For capital raising, companies will often issue new shares. This allows investors buy more shares.

To borrow money, companies can use debt finance. This gives them cheap credit and allows them grow faster.

A company that makes a good product is more likely to be bought by people. Stock prices rise with increased demand.

The stock price should increase as long the company produces the products people want.

Are bonds tradeable

Yes, they are. Like shares, bonds can be traded on stock exchanges. They have been for many years now.

The only difference is that you can not buy a bond directly at an issuer. You will need to go through a broker to purchase them.

This makes buying bonds easier because there are fewer intermediaries involved. This means you need to find someone willing and able to buy your bonds.

There are many kinds of bonds. There are many types of bonds. Some pay regular interest while others don't.

Some pay interest annually, while others pay quarterly. These differences allow bonds to be easily compared.

Bonds can be very useful for investing your money. If you put PS10,000 into a savings account, you'd earn 0.75% per year. If you were to invest the same amount in a 10-year Government Bond, you would get 12.5% interest every year.

If you put all these investments into one portfolio, then your total return over ten-years would be higher using bond investment.

How are Share Prices Set?

Investors are seeking a return of their investment and set the share prices. They want to make money with the company. They then buy shares at a specified price. The investor will make more profit if shares go up. If the share price falls, then the investor loses money.

Investors are motivated to make as much as possible. This is why they invest in companies. This allows them to make a lot of money.
