 Investment Basics
 Why be in the Market
 Smart Women Finish Rich

3. Investment Basics
 Stocks
 Bonds
 Mutual Funds
 Annuities

4. Stocks
 Stocks are ownership
 A Corporation issues stock
 When an investor purchases stock, she becomes
part owner of the corporation.
 Stocks as an investment
 An investor purchases a share of stock; the
price of the share increases; the investor sells it.
I.e. –You buy a share of Disney at $3 /share and
then sell it for $8 /share; You made $5 /share.
 This is Capital Appreciation; Buy low Sell high
 An investor holds her shares; the Corporation
declares a profit and distributes a portion to the
share holders, (investors).
 When profits are distributed by a corporation;
it is called a dividend.

5. Bonds
 Bonds are loans (or debt)
 The government, its agencies, or municipalities
can issue bonds.
 Corporations can issue bonds.
 If a corporation wants to raise capital, and it doesn’t want to
issue more stock, it may make a bond offering.
 A bond offering may be $1000 bond at a fixed rate,
due in a set number of years.
I.e. XYZ Co. -$1000, 6% due in 10 years
-An investor purchases a bond for $1000; she will
receive interest payments of 6% each year; in 10 years,
the investor can cash in her bond for her $1000 investment.
 The investors lets XYZ Co. “borrow” $1000 for a
10 year period. In return the investor will receive income
of 6% a year during that time period.

6. Stocks
&
Bonds
Why should you invest in stocks and bonds?
Over the long run, stock and bond investments have
out-paced inflation.
In a portfolio, stocks provide growth and a hedge against
inflation; bonds provide stability and income.
An accurate assessment of your goals, needs, time
frames, and risk tolerances are needed to develop
the best investment strategy and create the right
portfolio balance of stock and bond investments.

7. Other Investments:
Mutual Funds
A mutual fund is a pooling of investor dollars to purchase
stocks, bonds, or both in a portfolio to meet a specified
investment goal.
An investor can invest a fixed amount each month; as little
as $25 per month.
MFs can help diversify your investment portfolio,
- a typical fund holds an average of 125 companies1.
Convenience
Monthly or quarterly statements
Automatic reinvestment
There are over $7 trillion invested in the stock market through
Mutual Funds2.

8. Other Investments:
Annuities
Are an Insurance Company Product
Fixed Annuities
A contract between an annuitant (investor owner) and an
insurance company for a specific rate of return on an
investment made.
This investment is guaranteed not to lose the investment.
Variable Annuities
A contract between an annuitant and an insurance company
The investment can be made in fixed accounts or variable
sub-accounts.
A sub-account is a pooling of investor dollars to purchase
stocks, bonds, or both in a portfolio to meet a specified
investment goal.
This investment in NOT guaranteed. The investments
results depend on the performance of the sub-accounts.
