What Is an Asset Class?
Think of asset classes as investment buckets.
Each one has its own behavior, risks & rewards.
Equities (Stocks)
📈 Own a piece of a company.
High return, high risk.
Best for long-term growth.
Fixed Income (Bonds)
💵 You’re lending, not owning.
Steady returns with lower risk.
Good for capital protection.
Commodities
🪙 Gold, oil, silver.
A hedge during inflation—but volatile.
Real Estate
🏠 Physical assets = stable income + appreciation.
Good for wealth building over time.
Cash & Equivalents
💰 Savings, T-bills, money market funds.
Safe but low growth. Best for emergencies.
Why It Matters
✅ Diversify across asset classes
✅ Reduce risk
✅ Grow steadily in all market cycles
Be a Smart Allocator
Great portfolios aren't lucky—they’re balanced.
Know your asset classes.
Invest with strategy, not hype.
