Equity & Derivative Trading
Equities or shares represent part ownership in the company in which shares are purchased. This allows investors to participate in the performance of the company either through dividends (paid from profits) and/or capital growth as the company grows and the shares' value increases.
Equities represent the fundamental instrument for investing in listed companies and are a valuable tool for all classes of investors, from traders to conservative long term shareholders, however it is advisable for beginners to first familiarise themselves with the basics by reading the ASX publication,
"Getting Started In Shares".
The benefits of investing in shares are numerous and include:
Diversification
Flexibility
Taxation benefits
Long term outperformance over other asset classes (see the Russell Report)
Personal control
Whilst equities historically outperform other asset classes in the longer term, short term volatility and economic or political factors can result in share prices falling as well as rising.

Earn income and increase investment returns
Take advantage of changing share prices with reduced capital requirements and limited risk
