Financial Asset

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

  • a claim of ownership of an entity like a public company,
  • or contractual rights to future payments from an entity

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.
