what’s the difference between equities and stocks?
1 comments

Equity is an asset class. It includes stocks for sure, but holdings in index funds, ETFs, private equity investments, venture capital are also examples of equities.
index funds (of stock), private equity investments (generally stock), and vc equity investments (of private stock) are all also “stocks”.
