Asset Class

Asset classes are groups of assets with similar financial characteristics that are subject to similar laws and regulations. The three main financial asset classes are equities (stocks), fixed income (bonds), and cash/cash equivalents (currency and money market instruments). Other asset classes include real estate, commodities, and fine art/collectibles.

This is a definition, not a recommendation. Options carry risk and can expire worthless. See how the desk actually trades at TrueTrader.
