Question 3
Three characteristics are common to all financial products. These are
yield, risk and liquidity.
• Yield is the amount of cash the owners of a financial product receive
or the rate of return on a financial asset.
• Risk is the possibility of loss that may prevent adequate return on a
financial product.
• Liquidity is the ability of a financial product to be converted into
cash.
Yield and liquidity are inversely related while yield and risk are directly
related.
