Bonds

Bonds are issued by governments and corporations when they want to raise money. By buying a bond, you're giving the issuer a loan, and they agree to pay you back the face value of the loan on a specific date, and to pay you periodic interest payments along the way, usually twice a year.

Vanguard

Stocks

A stock (also known as equity) is a security that represents the ownership of a fraction of a corporation. This entitles the owner of the stock to a proportion of the corporation's assets and profits equal to how much stock they own. Units of stock are called "shares".

Investopedia

Stocks

Investment Funds

Investment funds are investment products created with the sole purpose of gathering investor's capital and investing that capital collectively through a portfolio of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds and other securities.
