Investing in stocks and bonds offers you the opportunity to capitalize on the success of a company by buying a share of it. As investments, stocks are exciting and potentially lucrative, but they are also risky. Bonds involve less risk—depending on the type you purchase—but the rewards might not be as great.
Stocks and bonds are two very different investment vehicles with distinct pros and cons. Based on your budget, goals, and tolerance for risk, you may choose one over the other, or you may decide to diversify your portfolio and invest in a combination of both. Your options are unlimited, and your Financial Consultant can offer useful guidance about what makes sense for you.

When you purchase a stock, you are buying a small portion of a company. When the company does well, your share goes up. If the company does poorly, your share goes down. The stock market is often unpredictable and there are no guarantees; however, your money has the potential to grow substantially.
Stock investing includes risks, including fluctuating prices and loss of principal.
When you buy a bond, you are essentially making a loan to a company, organization, or the government. You’ll get your money back after a certain period of time, and you’ll also receive interest when the bond matures. Unlike stocks, bonds are fixed-income securities, meaning you know what you you’re going to get in return. Bonds issued by the U.S. government are guaranteed if you hold the bond until the time period is up; other bonds are not guaranteed and carry varying degrees of credit risk.
Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and bonds are subject to availability and change in price.
