What are stocks?
A stock is a security that represents a fractional ownership in a company. When you buy a company's stock, you're purchasing a small piece of that company, called a share.
Investors purchase stocks in companies they think will go up in value. If that happens, the company's stock increases in value as well. The stock can then be sold for a profit.
How do stocks differ from securities ?
Securities involve different investment instruments like stocks, derivatives, bonds, etc.
Security is a wide concept which is used to denote a collection of different instruments.
Stocks are a type of security which means equity shares of a company.
Every stock is a security but every security is not a stock.
What types of securities exist in the financial markets?
-
Equity
-
Debt
-
Hybrid

FAQs on Demat Account
A Demat (Dematerialized) account is an electronic account which allows you to hold shares and securities such as stocks, mutual funds, bonds, exchange-traded funds, and government securities electronically in a dematerialized form. A demat account is a bank account difference being a bank account holds money and a demat account holds shares for the account holder. Similar to a bank account, where funds are debited and credited, securities are debited and credited from a Demat account.
A Demat Account is required for electronic investing and trading in stocks, financial instruments and mutual funds in the securities market. It eliminates the requirement for physical share certificates and offers a convenient and secure way to hold and transfer securities. Demat accounts facilitate the immediate transfer of securities, eliminate paperwork and transaction costs, provide a nomination facility, consolidate accounts/folios, and enable automatic credit of securities in the holder’s demat account arising out of merger, consolidation or split.
You can open a Demat Account with ABCD. To do so, download the ABCD app on your Smartphone and sign up. Upload all the relevant documents required for the account opening process and continue. Once your documents are verified, your Demat account will be opened and you can start your trading journey.
If you want to open a demat account, begin with selecting a registered depository participant. Then, approach your DP, fill up and submit an account opening form. You would be required to provide your photograph and self-attested KYC documents such as PAN Card, Proof of Address, and Cancelled Cheque. You are also required to carry original documents to the DP for in-person verification. If you are unable to bring the original papers for verification, then a photocopy of the documents should be attested by any authorized entity, like a public notary.
Further, your DP may require additional identity proof or address proof to meet its requisition in addition to the above-mentioned documents.
ABCD makes the whole process easy by allowing online Demat account opening in a few steps.
You can open more than one demat account with the different depository participants (DP). There is no restriction on the number of demat accounts you can open with a depository participant. However, it's essential to inform each DP about your existing demat accounts.
