Stocks:

Stocks are a type of security that give stockholders a share of ownership in a company. Investors buy stocks for various reasons, including:

  • The potential for capital appreciation, which occurs when a stock rises in price
  • The potential for dividend payments, which come when the company distributes some of its earnings to stockholders
  • The ability to vote shares and influence the company

Exchange Traded Products (ETPs):

ETPs include various investment structures that track an underlying benchmark, index or portfolio of securities. There are two types of ETPs primarily available:

  • Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): Like mutual funds, ETFs are securities that allow investors to pool their money in a fund that invests in assets such as stocks, bonds and other assets. However, ETFs have key differences compared to mutual funds:
    • Shares are able to trade intra-day on a national exchange at market prices that may vary from net asset value instead of being issued and redeemed at the end of the day at the net asset value.
    • Most ETFs are index-based which seek to track a securities index. Index-based ETFs may often have lower expense ratios.
  • Other Exchange Traded Products- There are a host of other exchange traded notes and debt instruments which can e used by clients depending on their requirement.
