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.
