Start with the essentials

Make sense of the market.

Four ideas to build your understanding,
one step at a time.

01 / OWNERSHIP

What is a stock?

A share represents a small part of a company. Shareholders may receive dividends and can gain or lose money as the share price changes.

One company.Many shares.One share = a small ownership stake
02 / THE EXCHANGE

A marketplace for shares.

An exchange brings buyers and sellers together. Investors place orders through brokers; trades occur when orders match.

Buyer↔Broker↔Exchange↔Broker↔Seller
03 / RISK & DIVERSIFICATION

See the whole picture.

Prices can fall as well as rise. Spreading investments across businesses and assets can reduce concentration risk, but cannot remove all risk.

04 / ETFs

A basket, traded as a share.

An exchange traded fund holds a basket of assets and trades on an exchange. Its holdings, costs and market exposure shape its risk.

05 / THE LONG VIEW

Build knowledge that lasts.
