Types of Asset Classes

  • Equities: Equities refer to shares of a company that you expect to rise due to capital gains or the generation of capital dividends. You can add many different types of equities to your portfolio to diversify it. A share of stock represents an equity interest in a company.
  • Fixed income: Fixed income includes investments in which the borrower or issuer must make fixed payments on a predetermined schedule to you, the investor. (Bonds are a good example of fixed income investments.)

  • Real estate: Real estate can offer another dimension to your portfolio, including cash flow, tax breaks, returns, an inflation hedge and more.
