Financial assets are in-between the Real Asset and Intangible Asset
Financial assets may seem intangible—non-physical—with only the stated value on a piece of paper such as a dollar bill or a listing on a computer screen.
==What that PAPER or LISTING represents, though, is
Financial assets derive their value from a contractual claim on an Underlying Asset.
Also, Value reflects factors of SUPPLY AND DEMAND in the marketplace in which they trade, as well as the degree of risk they carry.
