Investing, explained plainly.

Short, practical lessons on markets, stocks, IPOs, digital assets and planning, written by our research and client education teams.

Investing fundamentals

  1. 1

    Stocks and ETFs

    A stock is a share of one company; an ETF holds many securities in a single fund, often tracking an index like the S&P 500.

  2. 2

    Diversification

    Spreading money across companies, sectors and asset classes reduces the impact of any single holding.

  3. 3

    Risk and time horizon

    The longer you can leave money invested, the more short-term swings you can ride out. Never invest money you may need soon.

Markets and opportunities

  1. 1

    How IPOs work

    A company sells shares to the public for the first time. The price range, date and size can change until it prices, and early trading is often volatile.

  2. 2

    Reading key statistics

    Market cap, P/E ratio, 52-week range and volume: what each tells you, and what it doesn't.

  3. 3

    Market hours

    US stock markets trade 9:30 am–4:00 pm ET on weekdays; crypto markets never close, so prices can move while you're away.

Digital assets

  1. 1

    Your wallet

    Your Zenvex Capital wallet holds a balance for each digital asset you deposit, recorded in an append-only ledger.

  2. 2

    Assets and networks

    USDT on TRC20 and USDT on ERC20 are the same asset on different networks: always send on the network you selected.

  3. 3

    Stablecoins

    Stablecoins aim to track the US dollar, but the peg depends on the issuer and isn't guaranteed.

Planning and security

  1. 1

    Investment plans

    A plan commits funds for a lock period you choose. It sets the minimum, maximum and maturity date; it doesn't promise a return.

  2. 2

    Order types explained

    Market orders fill promptly at the prevailing price; limit orders fill only at your price or better; stop orders trigger when a price is reached.

  3. 3

    Withdrawing safely

    Withdrawals need identity verification and a one-time code, and every destination address is checked against its network.
