Question

Which investment type typically carries the least risk A- individual stocks B- treasury bonds C- savings account D- mutual funds

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": savings account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Savings accounts are deposits made by individuals or organizations to banks or financial institutions that use that money for diverse purposes -mainly for investments, giving the depositor income in form of interest over certain periods. This is the least risky investment someone can carry out since actually the money will be "stored" by the bank without any explicit risk. In front of bankruptcy, the savings are protected by the insurance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), making sure that the depositor will not lose a single cent of his money.
