Stock Markets
A market in which shares of stock are bought and sold is called stock market. The word ‘stock’, in American usage, means equity or ownership in a corporation. A share is the basic unit of a company’s capital, which it tries to raise from the stock market. When you own a stock, you are referred to as a share or stockholder. A stock shows that you own a small fraction of a corporation; hence if you buy stock in the Pepsi Corporation and they come out with a ‘hot’ new drink, then you get to share the profits. A stock also gives you the right to make decisions that may influence the company. Each stock you own gives you a vote/s, so the more stocks you own, the more decision-making power you have.

Life insurance coverage types are set up to ultimately provide a death benefit amount at the time of your passing; however, many policy types have additional benefits that grow along with your life insurance investment.
Whereas whole life insurance focuses primarily on building towards the death benefit amount, universal life insurance premiums accrue interest based on the current market’s interest rates. Interest returns are then added to the cash value of your policy. Of course, a portion of your premium payment pays for the cost of the insurance coverage (COI) and fees charged by your insurance company.
Where whole life insurance offers a fixed and stable financial base, universal life coverage provides flexibility at a lower cost. As such, universal life insurance is considered the happy-medium option between whole and term life coverage.
Flexibility options include- Withdrawals can be made from the policy’s cash value with no penalty fees applied. Premium payment schedules can be adjusted at any time. Additional premiums can be applied towards the policy at any time. The death benefit amount can be changed. You can surrender the policy and recoup its accumulated cash value after the first 15 years without paying a huge surrender fee.

Market value of equity of a firm is nothing but its market capitalization. It is defined as the total value of all the outstanding shares of a company at any given time. The market capitalization of different firms is bound to be different. It depends on many factors and market capitalization calculation helps us to arrive at several important conclusions. Before we know how to calculate market capitalization, let us first understand this vital concept in detail in the next section.
The market value of equity is actually calculated by multiplying number of outstanding shares of a company with its current market price. Both these factors on which market capitalization of a company depends are not constant all the time and hence the market capitalization is bound to change. So, when the stock price of a company goes up consistently, overall market capitalization will go up as well. As per their market capitalization, companies are classified as large caps, mid caps and small caps. The large caps are those having very high market capitalization due to soaring stock prices. On most occasions, these companies have very sound fundamentals and post good financial results. It has been observed that stock price movements of mid cap companies is more volatile and aggressive than the large cap stocks. Though the profit margins in stock investing in mid caps are high, many financial experts of the stock markets advise conservative retail investors to go with the large cap stocks for more safety and surety of returns. The market cap of all stocks when clubbed together counts for the total market capitalization of the entire exchange.
