b. Unit trusts are classified as collective investment schemes.
c. Shares and bonds are examples of capital market instruments.
d. Shares can only be traded at a physical location or building, such as the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
Your answer is correct.
Shares can be traded online on various platforms other than the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), using computers and
smartphones. Therefore, trading is not restricted to a physical location or building.
Financial intermediaries exist to assist in transferring funds from surplus units (those who have savings or excess cash to lend money) to
deficit units (those who wish to borrow money). Financial intermediaries intervene to make this process easier.
Unit trusts pool investors’ monies together into a single fund. These monies are then split across different financial instruments to reduce
exposure to risk of losing capital invested. This is why unit trusts are classified as a collective investment scheme.
Shares and bonds are capital market instruments, which are issued for a period of one year or longer. A share represents ownership in a
company that issues shares. This interest (part ownership) in a company is called equity. A bond represents debt because the issuer of
the bond (the party that needs funding) will pay a predetermined interest rate as a return on investment to the bondholder (the party that
provides the funding).
The correct answer is:
Shares can only be traded at a physical location or building, such as the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
