-{{Financial market participants}}
-An '''investor''' is a person who allocates capital with the expectation of a financial return.  The types of investments include: [[stock|equity]], [[Bond (finance)|debt]] [[Security (finance)|securities]], [[real estate]],  [[currency]], [[commodity]], derivatives such as put and call options, etc.   This definition makes no distinction between those in the primary and secondary markets.  That is, someone who provides a business with capital and someone who buys a stock are both investors.  An investor who owns a stock is known as a [[shareholder]].

-Investor  vs  [[speculator]]  vs  [[stock trader]]
-The assumption of risk in anticipation of gain but recognizing a higher than average possibility of loss. The term speculation implies that a business or investment risk can be analyzed and measured, and its distinction from the term Investment is one of degree of risk. It differs from [[Gambling (Investor)|gambling]], which is based on random outcomes.<ref>Barron's ISBN 0-8120-4631-3</ref>
-Investors can include stock traders but with this distinguishing characteristic:  investors are owners of a company which entails responsibilities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sec.gov/News/Speech/Detail/Speech/1370541547078|accessdate=22 April 2014}}</ref>
-==Types of investors==
-The following classes of investors are not mutually exclusive:
-Retail investor
-* Individuals gambling in games of chance.
-* Individual investors (including [[Trust law|trusts]] on behalf of individuals, and umbrella companies formed by two or more to pool investment funds)
-* [[Collecting|Collectors]] of [[art]], [[antique]]s, and other things of value
-* [[Angel investor]]s (individuals and groups)
-* [[Sweat equity]] investor
-[[Institutional investor]]
-* [[Venture capital]] funds, which serve as investment collectives on behalf of individuals, companies, pension plans, insurance reserves, or other funds.
-* [[Business]]es that make investments, either directly or via a captive fund
-* [[Investment trust]]s, including [[real estate investment trust]]s
-* [[Mutual fund]]s, [[hedge fund]]s, and other funds, ownership of which may or may not be [[Public company|publicly traded]] (these funds typically pool money raised from their owner-subscribers to invest in securities)
-* [[Sovereign wealth fund]]s
-Investors might also be classified according to their [[Investor profile|styles]]. In this respect, an important distinctive [[Behavioral economics|investor psychology]] trait is [[risk aversion|risk attitude]].
-==Investor protection==
-The term “investor protection” defines the entity  of efforts  and activities to observe, safeguard and enforce the rights and claims of a person in his role as an investor. This includes advice and legal action.  The assumption of a need of protection is based on the experience that financial investors  are usually structurally inferior to providers of financial services and products due to lack of professional knowledge, information or experience. Countries with stronger investor protections tend to grow faster than those with poor investor protections.  Investor protection includes accurate financial reporting by public companies so the investors can make an informed decision.  Investor protection also includes fairness of the market which means all participants in the market have access to the same information.
-===Through government===
-Investor protection through government is regulations and enforcements by government agencies to ensure that market is fair and fraudulent activities are eliminated.  An example of government agency that provides protection to investors is [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission|SEC]].
-===Through individual===
-Investor protection through individual is the strategy that one utilizes to minimize loss.  An investor can protect him/herself by purchasing only shares of businesses that s/he understands or remain calm through market volatility.
-==Investor education==
-Investor education refers to efforts by the public - government, nonprofit institutions - to enhance the [[financial literacy]] of common investors.
-===Basic financial concepts===
