Knowing and understanding the financial instruments at your disposal is always beneficial, and an investor with knowledge of their options is undoubtedly a better investor. This is the ethos of the investment experts, your teachers, at the Academy For Investors.
Whether self-managed or managed by third parties, your investments are most likely made up of shares or bonds. To understand your financial position, you need to be familiar with the fundamental properties of those instruments and the investing basics. However, when it comes to options investing, your knowledge has a little more clout – and you don’t have to return to school. Starting the course Options for Beginners at Academy For Investors will open up a whole new world of investment.
The way options work in your portfolio
Options are financial instruments based on the value of underlying securities such as shares. An options contract offers the buyer the opportunity to buy or sell, depending on the type of contract they hold and the underlying asset. This can be a stock, commodity, index or currency. With options, you can achieve a high return with a relatively small investment. Options are also a valuable investment tool to cover the risks in your portfolio.
Our Academy for Investors students often wonders if buying options or stocks is better and whether options are more profitable than stocks. This depends on your investment strategy and your knowledge about option trading – something that the Academy For Investors can help you with.
