Equity Investments
Stocks and mutual funds meet a range of investment objectives
Equity investments are investments in stocks or in mutual funds that include stocks. They are generally higher-risk, higher-reward investments that can be paired with other more conservative vehicles to create a balanced portfolio that minimizes risk.
While the most basic equity investment is the purchase of an individual stock, most corporate equity investing starts with mutual funds made up of many common and preferred stocks. These professionally managed funds pool the resources of many customers and invest them according to each fund's goals.
Mutual funds range from aggressive "growth" funds — ideal for businesses who can tolerate short-term losses in favor of longer-term gains — to conservative "income" funds designed to pay regular dividends.
Regardless of the objective of a mutual fund, it will be a weighted representation of many companies sharing that objective. This ensures that the performance of any single entity or industry included does not have sole impact on the overall fund performance.
Extraco offers access to the top ten mutual funds in the U.S., plus a wide range of stocks and other financial products.
