Assets, and asset classes

Māori translation:
Rawa or rironga & momo rawa
Definition

An asset is defined as anything that holds monetary value. Anything owned or owed is an asset. An asset class is a group of investments that share similar properties or regulatory requirements. Stocks, real estate, cash and cryptocurrency are types of asset class. Investing in multiple asset classes is a common way for investors to diversify their portfolio.
