Shares (or stocks) represent an ownership interest in a company. Companies issue shares to raise money for growth and development. In buying shares, an investor acquires a claim on part of the company’s assets and earnings.
Bonds are debt instruments. In buying a bond, an investor loans money to an entity (like a company or a government) for a specific period of time at an interest rate which may be variable or fixed.
An investment fund, often managed by a bank or institutional investor, pools money from multiple investors and invests it in a portfolio of securities, thus reducing the risks for individual investors and allowing them to benefit from economies of scale as well as the fund manager’s expertise.
