Marketable financial assets are assets that can be easily traded on a secondary market, such as equity shares, bonds, and mutual funds. These assets do not require a direct relationship between the issuer and investor since there is a secondary market or middleman to facilitate trades between buyers and sellers without them needing to meet physically. As an investor or analyst, it is important to understand the different types of financial assets available in the market and determine which ones are best suited to their needs and situation.
