Term of The Day - Retail Investor

A retail investor, also known as an individual investor, is a non-professional investor who buys and sells securities or funds that contain a basket of securities such as mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Retail investors execute their trades through traditional or online brokerage firms or other types of investment accounts.

Retail investors purchase securities for their own personal accounts and often trade in dramatically smaller amounts as compared to institutional investors.

Retail investors usually buy and sell trades in the equity and bond markets and tend to invest much smaller amounts than large institutional investors. However, wealthier retail investors can now access alternative investment classes like private equity and hedge funds.

Because of their small purchasing power, most retail investors may have to pay higher fees or commissions for their trades, although many brokers have eliminated fees for online trades.

Term of The Day- Hyperinflation

Hyperinflation is a term to describe rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases in an economy.

While inflation is a measure of the pace of rising prices for goods and services, hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, typically measuring more than 50% per month.

Although hyperinflation is a rare event for developed economies, it has occurred many times throughout history in countries such as China, Germany, Russia, Hungary, and Argentina.

Hyperinflation causes consumers and businesses to need more money to buy products due to higher prices.

Hyperinflation can cause a number of consequences for an economy. People may hoard goods, including perishables such as food, because of rising prices, which, in turn, can create food supply shortages. When prices rise excessively, cash, or savings deposited in banks, decreases in value or becomes worthless since the money has far less purchasing power. Consumers' financial situation deteriorates and can lead to bankruptcy.

Term of The Day - Sophisticated Investor

A Sophisticated Investor is someone who has sufficient investing experience and directly relevant knowledge to weigh up the potential risks and benefits of an investment opportunity.

In other words, the person genuinely understands what they need and want, and what they are getting from the seller.

At a minimum, such investors will ensure that their portfolios are sufficiently diversified, monitored regularly and that buying takes place when markets are relatively low and selling when they are high.

Investors who fail to heed these three basic principles are not sophisticated.

Term of The Day - Hybrid Security

A hybrid security is a single financial security that combines two or more different financial instruments.

Hybrid securities, often referred to as "hybrids," generally combine both debt and equity characteristics.

The most common type of hybrid security is a convertible bond that has features of an ordinary bond but is heavily influenced by the price movements of the stock into which it is convertible.

Hybrid securities are bought and sold on an exchange or through a brokerage.

Hybrids may give investors a fixed or floating rate of return and may pay returns as interest or as dividends. Some hybrids return their face value to the holder when they mature and some have tax advantages. Hybrid securities can be viewed as a form of esoteric debt and may be difficult to sell due to their complexity.

Term of The Day - Bond Rating

A bond rating is a grade given to a bond by a rating service that indicates its credit quality.

The rating takes into consideration a bond issuer's financial strength or its ability to pay a bond's principal and interest in a timely fashion.

Moody's, Standard and Poor's, Fitch Ratings, and DBRS are some of the most internationally well-known bond-rating agencies. These organizations operate to provide investors with quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the available fixed income securities.

Generally, a "AAA" high-grade rated bond offers more security and lower profit potential (lower yield) than a "B-" rated speculative bond.

Term of The Day- Bond

A bond is a fixed-income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower (typically corporate or governmental).

A bond could be thought of as an I.O.U. between the lender and borrower that includes the details of the loan and its payments.

Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states, and sovereign governments to finance projects and operations.

Owners of bonds are debtholders, or creditors, of the issuer.

Bond details include the end date when the principal of the loan is due to be paid to the bond owner and usually include the terms for variable or fixed interest payments made by the borrower.

Term of The Day - Investment Grade

An investment grade is a rating that signifies that a municipal or corporate bond presents a relatively low risk of default.

Bond rating firms like Standard & Poor’s and Moody's use different designations, consisting of the upper- and lower-case letters "A" and "B," to identify a bond's credit quality rating.

"AAA" and "AA" (high credit quality) and "A" and "BBB" (medium credit quality) are considered investment grade. Credit ratings for bonds below these designations ("BB," "B," "CCC," etc.) are considered low credit quality, and are commonly referred to as "junk bonds."

Credit ratings are important as they convey the risk associated with buying a certain bond.

An investment-grade credit rating indicates a low risk of a credit default, making it an attractive investment vehicle—especially to conservative investors.

Term of The Day - Junk Bond

Junk bonds are bonds that carry a higher risk of default than most bonds issued by corporations and governments.

A bond is a debt or promise to pay investors interest payments along with the return of invested principal in exchange for buying the bond.

Junk bonds represent bonds issued by companies that are financially struggling and have a high risk of defaulting or not paying their interest payments or repaying the principal to investors.

Junk bonds are also called high-yield bonds since the higher yield is needed to help offset any risk of default.

Term of The Day - Benchmark

A benchmark is a standard against which the performance of a security, mutual fund, or investment manager can be measured. Generally, broad market and market-segment stock and bond indexes are used for this purpose.

Identifying and setting a benchmark can be an important aspect of investing for individual investors. In addition to traditional benchmarks representing broad market characteristics such as large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, growth, and value, investors will also find indexes based on fundamental characteristics, sectors, dividends, market trends, and much more.

Having an understanding or interest in a specific type of investment will help an investor identify appropriate investment funds and also allow them to better communicate their investment goals and expectations to a financial advisor.

Term of The Day - Risk Profile

A risk profile is an evaluation of an individual's willingness and ability to take risks. It can also refer to the threats to which an organization is exposed.

A risk profile is important for determining a proper investment asset allocation for a portfolio.

Organizations use a risk profile as a way to mitigate potential risks and threats.

A risk profile identifies the acceptable level of risk an individual is prepared and able to accept.

A corporation's risk profile attempts to determine how a willingness to take on risk (or an aversion to risk) will affect an overall decision-making strategy.

The risk profile for an individual should determine that person's willingness and ability to take on risk. Risk in this sense refers to portfolio risk.

Term of The Day - Equity Risk Premium

The term equity risk premium refers to an excess return that investing in the stock market provides over a risk-free rate. This excess return compensates investors for taking on the relatively higher risk of equity investing.

The size of the premium varies and depends on the level of risk in a particular portfolio. It also changes over time as market risk fluctuates.

Stocks are generally considered high-risk investments. Investing in the stock market comes with certain risks, but it also has the potential for big rewards. So, as a rule, investors are compensated with higher premiums when they invest in the stock market.

Whatever return you earn above a risk-free investment such as U.S. Treasury bill (T-bill) or a bond is called an equity risk premium.

Term of The Day - Required Rate of Return (RRR)

The required rate of return (RRR) is the minimum return an investor will accept for owning a company's stock, as compensation for a given level of risk associated with holding the stock.

The RRR is also used in corporate finance to analyze the profitability of potential investment projects.

The RRR is also known as the hurdle rate, which like RRR, denotes the appropriate compensation needed for the level of risk present. Riskier projects usually have higher hurdle rates, or RRRs, than those that are less risky.
