equity investment
Buying company shares
An equity investment is the purchase of ownership shares in a company, as opposed to lending money to it.
The investor gains a stake in the business and participates in its profits or losses.
The venture capital firm made equity investments in several tech startups.
Equity investments carry more risk than bonds but offer potentially higher returns.
