Insuranceopedia Explains Securities

Many securities are traded on public markets like the New York Stock Exchange. Publicly traded companies raise capital by selling stocks on these markets, which investors can then buy and sell. However, the value of these securities can fluctuate significantly, introducing a level of risk when investing in them through life insurance policies.
