Securities, funds and futures are all kinds of products that people invest in financial management. What's the difference between them? Securities are the general name of all kinds of economic rights and interests certificates, which are used to prove that the holder has the right to obtain due rights and interests according to the contents on the face of securities. A fund refers to a certain amount of funds set up for a certain purpose.

The difference between securities and funds

Securities include valuable securities and priceless securities. Generally speaking, negotiable securities refer to legal documents that record and represent certain rights, including stocks, funds, bonds, securities derivatives and so on.

Funds can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Broadly speaking, a fund refers to a certain amount of funds set up for a certain purpose. For example, trust and investment funds, unit trust funds, provident funds, insurance funds, retirement funds and funds of various foundations. In a narrow sense, funds (that is, what we usually say) refer to securities investment funds.

The difference between securities and futures

The futures market is a market for buying and selling futures contracts, which are essentially representative symbols of future commodities, so the futures market and commodity market are intrinsically related. However, as far as the purchase and sale of material goods is converted into the purchase and sale of contracts, futures contracts are externally manifested as securities of related goods. The stocks and bonds circulating in the securities market are the standardized ownership contract of joint-stock companies and the standardized creditor's rights and debts contract of bond issuers respectively. The stocks, bonds and futures contracts that people buy and sell are all vouchers.
