what are equities investments?

[kuldeep]

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading about different types of investments and came across the term equity investments. I’m not totally clear on what it means. Are they just stocks, or do they include other things too? How do they actually work for investors? Any simple explanation would help!

Equities investments are shares of ownership in a company, giving investors partial ownership and rights to profits through dividends or capital appreciation. They carry higher risk than fixed-income assets but offer potential for long-term growth and wealth creation in markets.
