The difference between securities investment and equity investment: The investment object of equity investment is the stocks of unlisted companies, while the investment object of securities investment is securities including stocks, futures, warrants, etc. Equity investment is also a type of securities investment. It’s just that the investment objects of equity investment are more specific.
Equity Investment (Equity Investment) refers to the acquisition of shares of the invested unit through investment. It refers to an enterprise (or individual) purchasing the stocks of other enterprises (preparing to be listed or unlisted companies) or directly investing in other units with monetary funds, intangible assets and other physical assets, with the ultimate purpose of obtaining greater economic benefits. This kind of economic benefit can be obtained through profit sharing or dividends, or through other means.
Investment in securities refers to the economic activity of buying and selling securities to obtain profits.
A marketable security is a certificate with a par value that is used to prove that the holder or a specific entity designated by the security has ownership or claims on specific property. Marketable securities are a form of fictitious capital. They have no value in themselves, but they have a price. Securities can be divided into three categories according to the different nature of the property rights they represent: commodity securities, currency securities and capital securities.
