Stocks and bonds represent two different ways to invest. A stock is an ownership interest in a company, while a bond is a loan to a government or organisation. This beginner guide compares how returns, income, volatility and risk can differ.
You’ll learn: • Shares, dividends and capital growth • Bond coupons, maturity and yields • Why bond prices and yields can move in opposite directions • How diversification can spread, but not remove, risk • Why time horizon and fees matter
Investments can fall in value and returns are not guaranteed.
