As their name suggests, growth stocks refer to equities expected to grow at a faster
rate compared to the broader market.3 Generally, growth stocks tend to outperform
during times of economic expansion and when interest rate are low. For instance,
technology stocks have significantly outperformed in recent years, fueled by a robust
economy and access to cheap funding.
GROWTH STOCKS VS. VALUE STOCKS
Common Stocks — sometimes referred to as ordinary shares—represents partial
ownership in a company. This stock class entitles investors to generated profits, usually
paid in dividends. Common stockholders elect a company's board of directors and
vote on corporate policies.
Holders of this stock class have rights to a company's assets in a liquidation event, but
only after preffered stock shareholders and other debt holders have been paid.
Company founders and employees typically receive common stock.
