Financial Instruments
What Are Financial Instruments?
Financial instruments are assets that can be traded — meaning you can buy, sell, or exchange them for money or other assets.
They represent a financial agreement or claim between two parties (for example, an investor and a company, or a buyer and a seller).
In simple terms:
They are tools people use to save, invest, borrow, or manage risk.
Why They Matter
Financial instruments are the foundation of the financial system because they allow:
Businesses to raise capital (by issuing stocks or bonds)
Investors to grow wealth (by earning returns)
Governments to fund projects
People to manage risk (through insurance or derivatives)
Stocks
Opening an investment account for a minor is one of the best ways to give them a financial head start. Since minors can’t open accounts on their own, a parent or guardian can set up a custodial account—an investment account managed by an adult until the child reaches adulthood. This allows their money to grow early through stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds, helping them build wealth and learn about investing from a young age.
