A security is a term that can be used to describe many types of investments. There are two types of securities:
- Debt securities, which include bonds, are so called because when a bond is purchased, the government or company that it is bought from owes a debt.
- Equity security; these are generally stocks, and these essentially give the purchaser a stake in the company in which they have invested.
